Unfortunately there's not much to identify this by in the photos. Also, unfortunately we currently have no-one with leech expertise to identify it. Do you have leech expertise, and if so would you consider becoming a moderator for leeches?

My leech expertise comes from being an involuntary blood donor over many years of bushwalking. I am not competent to be a moderator. I agree the photo shows a strange angle, it was trying to attache to the camera, or me. My 5 leach bites are almost healed after 3 weeks.
