Anyone got any idea what I saw? I have tried an internet search for freshwate wildlife to no avail.
Probably shouldn't have typed in snot monster though. |
I've got [a] for you. It's a leech. I have a massive and serious issue with Leeches. It's a worm, without a head - but with teeth.
I can't deal with that.
In foreign parts with rain forests there are terrestrial leeches that are up to a foot long. They can feel your footsteps as you appraoch, and sometimes you can see the path "moving" in front of you as they get ready to bite.
*uck me, that's grim.
