Description

I think this is a leech. Love the way his oily black skin reflects everything. Its a very overcast day here so the reflections are very gray. I may post a few more shots of him depending on comments received. Thank you for all of your comments. Have a wonderful Wednesday! Wendy

Interesting...LOL. You can se the slime trail in the top right corner of the pic. I dont like leaches to much but its a nice capture. Might be more interesting if you could see some thing on the leach like his mouth if possible.

That seems a leech indeed ! I don't like this kind of animals, but they were officinal a long time ago ... I send the link quickly to Nathalie, not because she eats them, lol!, but because recently in Thailand she was "visited" by leeches taking a trip into jungle ! Expressive photo' and professionnal work

Lol.... my friend Magali (Laelia) has send me the link to your shot... Happy to see some other friends of mine when I was in the forest.... 4 of this little guy has suck my blood ! Terrible because you feel nothing !!! But after a long walk in the jungle, when we have crossed a river, I've look at my blue Jeans.... and I was covered of my blood ! and the leechs weren't there... It's just impressive for the blood, but not other trouble ! I've always the tracks where they have bite me.... Lol ! But it's a funny and good remind of my wild trip ;o)))) And to see your shot tonight, it's really a pleasure ! and it's really a very good shot of this little vampire ! Do you know that if one of them suck your blood enough to be fill up, he could stay 1 year without eat anything else (maybe not for all, but for the one in the forest where I was it's like that). Incredible ! Have a nice evening Wendy. V
