Leeches are not bugs (insects). Leeches are animals, segmented worms in the same phylum (Annelida) as earthworms.

Leeches and worms have neither exoskeleton nor legs at any stage of their lives. The larval stage of insects leads to the common misconception that they are related to worms, but this is not the case.
