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.
