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.
