Most leeches are freshwater animals, but many terrestrial and marine species occur. Land leeches are common on the ground or in low foliage in wet rain forests. In drier forests they may be found on the ground in seepage moistened places.
Where are leeches most commonly found?
Leeches are most commonly found in shallow areas of lakes among plants, under rocks, sticks, logs, and attached to decaying leaves.
Where are leeches found in nature?
Freshwater leeches are found almost everywhere, except for Antarctica. Marine leeches are found in all the oceans.
