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.
