Last week, I saw this trap on the Chess Vibes channel in the philidor, and in this game on lichess, i got the same position. Wanted to just share it.

Short trap, but there's an even shorter trap in the Damiano defense. Also the quickest brilliant move Nxe5!!!

3...h6? weakens and neither develops nor fights for the center.

@2

3...Qe7 is more or less playable.

black has to play Nf6.

there are about 15 opening traps against black in the phillidor. Black must play precisely in the opening. But the middle game is very solid for black although it can be somewhat boring.
