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.
