Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck, 1822) With Leech And Leech Eggs

    Pictured below is a specimen with an unidentified leech and leech eggs attached that was collected in the drainage ditch just south of the concrete box culvert on 8/16/2005. At the time of collection the leech was not noticed. Therefore, it's uncertain whether it was initially attached to this particular shell or one of the other 18 specimens collected that date.
