Flytrap company born on the internet (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cobweb

'flytrap' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'company born on the internet' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'born' becomes 'b' (common abbreviation).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the internet' becomes 'web' (I've seen this before).
'co'+'b'+'web'='COBWEB'

(Other definitions for cobweb that I've seen before include "Spider's net" , "Spider's flytrap" , "An arachnid's mesh" , "Filaments made by a spider" , "Product of eleven across" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
