a weed in waters what are those in 3 and 4 colorless leeches? and you are putting your hand in that water its good to be a bit cautious in such cases, … I worry about you read about the diseases caught by the plant hunters of yore its a wise-man who learns from mistakes of others. Not leeches ma’am, they were on the undersides of almost all the aquatic flora present in the pond. All I can say is, they were segmented worms, an Annelid, perhaps.
I am very careful ma’am. We had a village boy accompanying us out of curiosity, no fear of snakes or any such problems from the water. 🙂 show the pic to some zoology professor and find out
why do they co-exist? and then tell me/us I will ma’am. Will let you know 🙂
