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.
