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.
