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.
