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.
