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.
