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.
