Alright, hear me out. This leech is cool.
Haemopis septagon is a GIANT terrestrial leech that only eats earthworms. It's also found in pristine ecosystems, like old-growth hardwood bottomlands. So it's probably an indicator of high-quality water and other ecosystem services humans care about.

[@DarthThePigeon]

it’s nature, dude.. stuff dies. 😂 that’s next level sensitivity. it’s an invertebrate, it doesn’t have feelings, it’s not an awful way to go at all. 🫣

[@emperorofghost]

​ @kobelee8573 Earthworms have multiple pain receptors. That's why they react to being impaled by a hook, if you've ever been fishing. 😬
Update: Earthworms do not feel the discomfort as humans do when pain is happening.

[@charlesvon155]

I feel like earth worms are more beneficial to the environment than these leaches. But idk

[@SlOth-gm4qg]

Agree 😢

[@ItsLuckyPlays]

Yeah

[@EnergyBurst2]

Depends I suppose, since in the Americas earthworms are an invasive species it could be argued that to the overall native ecosystems of those parts of the world they are not beneficial.

[@thegamingwubba]

@@EnergyBurst2invasive does not inherently mean harmful. Many invasive species are harmless or can even help!

[@EnergyBurst2]

@@thegamingwubba Perhaps, but it is believed that their presence (earthworms) at least in north America has led to a massive shift in the composition and presence of forests and grasslands fundamentally changing them from what they once were prior to their introduction so I wouldn't be surprised if it has led to some species of plants and animals becoming endangered or going extinct as a result or even enabled other invasive species to spread more easily in these places.

[@Breydwildlife]

Aye to all of you saying earthworms are good and leeches are bad: earthworms create soil erosion and leaching of nutrients may reduce the productivity of forests and ultimately degrade fish habitat. While leeches are native which means all the other wildlife that’s native is adapted to it.

[@end.olives]

​@@PFCMittens it literally doesnt say it in the video, it says for how long the leech wont NEED to eat not HOW LONG it takes for it to eat it

[@Itsyrm8]

It depends on earth worm length and gulping speed. For example, if a worm is 10 centimetres and the leech is not that hungry, with a gulping speed of 0,01 centimetres per second, then it takes 10000 seconds. Which is 166,66666637 minutes. Roughly 2 hours and 47 minutes

Depends on how good your game is, I guess.

[@Soundofwindonsand]

When I was a kid we were digging worms in the creek bank for bait, I found the coolest nightcrawler (?) with an orange lateral line on each side, when we started fishing qe found it attacking a worm, I threw it in the lake, and it swam away, we figured things out pretty quickly..
