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.
