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.
