{{ImageNeeded}}A '''Venus Mantrap''' is a carnivorous plant common to jungle [[Death World|death worlds]]. Named after the Venus Flytrap of [[Terra]], which it resembles in all but size, it is often twenty or thirty metres in height, and is easily capable catching and digesting man-sized creatures.{{Fn|1}}
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]]
