I miss my leeches for all the normal pet reasons but I also miss being able to use them as a one-hit death blow to end stupid conversations. Whenever I defend the ecological importance of parasites someone will inevitably crawl up and go “well I bet you wouldn’t feel that way if you had them” and oooooo boy let me tell you. It was so fun to hit back with “I DO” and then whip out my phone and show them 30 pictures of my fucking Worms
What were your leeches named?? Please i need to know please please tell me about your leeches oh my god
Wormitha, Burrito, Chungus, Chocolate Chip and Squish Baby. I collectively called them The Squish Squad
I have a big tank just full of isopods. You know, woodlice. They live in a little bug palace, with lots of things to hide in and climb on and explore. I love it when I'm in a situation where people are sharing photos of their pets, and I bring out the bugs all piled on top of a rotten piece of chicken
