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.
