Not very fast at all; one would be tempted to say slowly. The ability of the plant to capture something as fleet as a fly is that it lures the fly into a position of impending capture, between its fangs, so that a little movement effects the capture.

It also depends on the health of the plant.

Venus Flytrap's traps close at different speeds. If one closes slowly, it means the plant is unhealthy, hence if it closes quickly, it is healthy.

How long does it take for a Venus fly trap to open?

A Venus flytrap will reopen at different times depending on if the flytrap digested its catch or not. The plant has small openings available after snapping shut that allow small prey that is not worth digesting to escape. When this happens, the Venus flytrap will reopen within 12 hours. If digestion occurs, the plant will reopen about ten days later.
