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.
