  flytrap \fly"trap\ (fl[imac]"tr[a^]p), n.
     1. A trap for catching flies.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. (Bot.) A plant {(Dion[ae]a muscipula)}, called also
        {Venus's flytrap}, having two-lobed leaves which are


        fringed with stiff bristles, and fold together when
        certain sensitive hairs on their upper surface are
        touched, thus trapping insects that light on them. The
        insects so caught are afterwards digested by a secretion
        from the upper surface of the leaves. The plant is native
        to North and South Carolina, growing in bogs.
        [1913 Webster]
