Whoopsies!
The pond above my house has them.

Last year I went back to a local crick to take photos and noticed odd little 'holes' in the mud under an overhanging tree.

So naturally, like an over-curious idiot, I waded in, thinking it might be crayfish nests or something.

Nope.

Leeches.

As soon as I stepped into their area, they came swarming out after my feet.

YIKES!
