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.
