Field Notes

Description:

Black worm with a sucker at one end.

Habitat:

Dining hall of a resort in Village Borong (Sikkim) a remote, hilly, leech-infested area.

Notes:

I exclaimed, "Is it a leech?"as I took this one snap when the waiter came and said, "No this is not a leech."and crushed it and swept it away. Over in two seconds!

PS: Leech photos and video coming soon.
