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.
