Photographed on a handrail in the gloom of the ANBG Rainforest Gully during recent rain. It was thrashing around a lot and took an unhealthy interest in my hand operating the camera close to it. Presumably a leech (Annelid?).

Hi Michael @michaelb This leech sighting was marked as inconclusive but I believe CNM is now able to process them. Just bringing this to your attention as per the moderator's comment above. Tim
