Leech



One of those creatures I knew about, mostly from the movies and from ancient medical practices, but had never seen for real...

...
It was slithering on the streets of Bukit Fraser... not something you would want to step on with your bare feet... notice the flappy mouth that's used to suck itself onto your skin...
...

Apart from this not so appealing photo, Bukit Fraser is really a lovely little town in Malaysia, founded by the British back in the days, up in the mountains, especially if you appreciate a lower temperature, lots of jungle, birds, peace and quiet and the occasional leech...
