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.
