coordinates approximate, but from Fanna (or Fana) island, Sonsorol State, Republic of Palau (Google, OSM)Description
I spent a few days on Fanna (a small island with many sea birds nesting) in 2008, and this is the only land leech I saw. People from Sonsorol know about land leeches, but they're rare and might only occur as occasional re-introductions from birds. Standard yellow pencil in the frame for scale
