bloodsucking leech trying to get into my pants ...
craving symbiosis with its host
it takes its feed draining the life
They detect their prey by the vibrations it makes in the water. The leech, which is an excellent swimmer, then comes out of its hiding place and attaches to the hostanimal. It can attach with its mouth or another sucker on its tail
The Freshwater Leech drinks blood until it is about five times its normal weight. Then it releases its grip and finds a new hiding place
Freshwater Leeches do not need to eat often. They can even go a year or two without a meal.
The leeches lay eggs inside small coccoons in the muddy bottom. Young leeches hatch from the coccoons when they are ready
