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.
