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.
