blood clover              
                          
                                          
 the   moss  commonly   known  as  "blood 
 clover" is  a carnivorous  plant  native 
 to northern eurasia.  despite its  name, 
 it's   actually   a   kind    of   moss. 
                                          
                                    
                                          
 blood clover  is in  its  dormant  state 
  indistinguishable from regular clover.  
 when  disturbed,  it  produces  a  thick 
 sticky  sap that  will  ensnare  animals 
 that  are too weak  to move away (frogs, 
 mice,  insects)  and  slowly  melt them. 
 the   plant   then  feeds  off  of   the 
  nutrients released. during feeding the  
 leaves will  take  on  a  reddish  tint, 
 from  which the  plant  get  its  common 
 name.                                
                                          
 you  can  sometimes  spot  bleeding   or 
 scars  along  the legs of bigger animals 
 who's  lingered in  the  moss  for  some 
 time.                                
                                          
                                    
                                          
 the  sap  has been used  for tattoos. it 
 is reportedly faint but  pleasant to the 
 taste,  and  can  of   course  only   be 
       consumed in small quantities.
