It is a cool looking leech. I like your shoes too ;)
Such mean sisters!! When I was a child I collected all spiders and beetles just do but them in my Brother's bed! :-))
Does she like spiders too? And snakes? Mean sister! HA! (my kids don't spiders, but they like my spider photos sometimes. They either think I am brave or crazy! LOL)
Have you seen these Leeches full of blood?? They are huge!!!
Great story.. I went for a 15 km walk in the NSW Rainforest .. OFF THE BEATEN TREK.. and had 15 bites and 25 leeches!! But it was still a great walk!
Check out my leech spotting, with a little story.

Yes, they look like tiger leeches. I've more than a few of these try to suck my blood in Borneo. I do think they have a nice pattern, for a leech.
