fly trap

Such a cleft in the head could never mean a song; it could never be utilized for anything but a fly-trap.

Closely related to the sundew is the Venus fly-trap (Diona muscipula, Ellis).

And do not answer this—I do not write it as a fly trap for compliments.

Over the candles hangs a cake of Jew's Bread, once perhaps the property of her Levitical lover, and now used as a fly-trap.

It is called a fly-trap because it has on each of its leaves something like a steel-trap, by means of which it catches flies.
