Planet Earth, many years into the future... over intense farming and excessive use of pesticides has caused the destruction of every insect life form, throwing the planets ecological balance into disarray. In a last ditch attempt to rectify the situation a group of scientists have created a race of cybernetic insects. However, an error in their DNA make up caused them to go insane, resulting in vast swarms of maniac killers roaming the planet. The only hope of survival was to create the ultimate killer insect, capable of seeking out and destroying all the mutations. Venus: The Fly Trap.
