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.
