Very beautiful. Hard to photograph because as soon as they realise you are a food source they head straight towards you.

I wish we had someone to identify leeches for you. At the moment it must wait in the Hirudinea sp. (Class) box.

That's okay. I just think they are so beautiful and just wish I could always see them coming. It is annoying when I am in the garden and they get me through a thick pair of socks.
