Feast night

Hirudo verbana leech feeding
Leeches rule!! Great shot too BTW

They are INCREDIBLY useful and terribly misunderstood little critters. I have H. verbena, H. manillensis, and M. decora that I raise and breed too.
 
I love the Hirudo pattern. They look like shiny anacondas. Do they make that much of a mess when feeding? Is this after multiples have fed on the same location?
