Leeches were once a favoured species. They sang; their bodies were encased in mother of pearl shells. The first leech to taste blood said it was all a terrible mistake.

Today leeches are only of value to some medical practioners and all freshwater biologists. Hold up a freshly caught leech to anyone else and watch them squirm. 'Ewwwwww!' They exclaim.
