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.
