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.
