True tales of those who have been captured by venus flytraps, pitcher plants and other carnivorous flora have also captured the minds of firefly storytellers. Modern firefly myth has interpreted these with a mixture of fact and horror story in the character of The Flower that Walks. The flower, often described as resembling an ordinary purple clematis, uproots itself in the evenings to stalk the firefly people. Like all plants, it needs light to survive, but for this one the sun is not enough. It wants to capture all light, even theirs. It is said to capture its victim in its larger petals and restrain them with its lower ones to drink the light away, leaving the firefly dead and dark. The walking aspect seems irrelevant, but is key to the fear it inspires; the flower is concealed among other plants, moving slowly, following its prey over hundreds of feet of territory until the right moment strikes. It can, in theory, be anywhere, even places where it has always been safe to land. The tale is especially effective for those going out on their first flights, for whom every flower’s shift in the summer breeze seems to be the steps of a killer.

mouse people often attribute death by natural causes— that is, causes other than predators— to superstition. One of their most often-told legends is that of the dark rabbit. They believe that any mouse who hears the cry of a dying rabbit is doomed to meet that rabbit’s soul within three days. The rabbit returns as a shadow, slipping into dens, through cracks in human floors and even through “the burrow of a worm” in one iteration of the tale, to reclaim its final scream. This, of course, is said to kill the unfortunate victim. Mouse children are taught skipping rhymes and songs to ward off rabbit screams, which causes the tale to spread and span generations.
