Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward combination of literal meanings: 'penis' + 'fly' (the front opening/zipper area of trousers) + 'trap' (a device to catch). A B1 learner who knows those words can infer it refers to a humorous or suggestive garment that draws attention to or 'traps' the penis at the fly; the slangy pun on 'Venus flytrap' adds playfulness but does not block compositional understanding.
Etymology
Penis fly trap is a joking image: imagine a sticky fly trap put on someone's clothes that makes people look at the penis. So, people use it to mean a very 'revealing' or attention-grabbing outfit.
