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.
