The Venus Mantrap is one type among a great variety of carnivorous flora found on death worlds.{{Fn|1}}
The Mantrap is far more aggressive in its ability to move and trap prey than the flytrap of Terra: the leaves of the Mantrap, connected to a main immobile body by long stalks, are capable moving a distance away to reach and attack prey.{{Fn|1}}
Each leaf of the Mantrap forms a powerful trap. Sensitive trigger hairs detect nearby prey, causing the plant's trapping mechanism to immediately activate. The leaves then quickly move to reach and trap its prey.{{Fn|1}} ==See Also==*[[List of Flora and Fungi]]
