A Leech Lying on a Streamside Rock
A leech with a segmented body is depicted from an overhead angle as it rests on a rock near the water. Its elongated body shape and rounded suction discs stand out clearly.
Natural Facts About Leeches
Leeches live primarily in slow-moving freshwater environments such as muddy ponds, marshes, and quiet lake margins. They move across solid surfaces using a looping motion by alternately attaching their front and rear suckers to stones or debris. Many leech species feed on small invertebrates like snails and aquatic worms rather than larger animals.
