Tiger Leech

Haemadipsa picta

Description:

This one is around 1 cm, not extended, probably up to 3 cm when it extends. Quite colourful. Its hard to say they are pretty or nice considering they are 'actively' seeking you out to suck your blood! You certainly don't want to mess with them. They tend to come out after rain and sometimes, they drops down from the tree above onto you and even your camera.

Habitat:

Tropical forest
