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.
