Freshwater leeches primarily feed on the blood of various animals, including fish, amphibians, and mammals. They use their anterior suckers to attach to their hosts and then inject anticoagulants to facilitate blood feeding. Some leech species are also scavengers or detritivores, consuming organic matter and decomposing material in their environment. Their feeding habits play a role in the ecosystems they inhabit, contributing to nutrient cycling.
