EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the lush, vibrant greens of the lowland rainforest in Sabah, Borneo, lies the elusive and intriguing world of the Tiger Leeches or Painted Leeches (Haemadipsa picta). This image showcases these unique annelids as they gracefully cling to the leaves of the low vegetation typical of the Kinabatangan river floodplain. The Tiger Leech, with its distinctive stripes and striking coloration, is a fascinating creature that is often overlooked in the rich biodiversity of the rainforest. These leeches are not parasitic, unlike their more notorious relatives, but instead, they are active hunters, feeding on worms and other small invertebrates. The Kinabatangan river floodplain, located in the heart of Borneo, is a critical habitat for the Tiger Leech, providing the perfect conditions for their survival. The low vegetation, which is typical of this area, offers the leeches protection from the sun and predators, while the abundant water sources provide them with the moisture they need to thrive. The history of the Tiger Leech is as intriguing as its appearance. These leeches have been documented in scientific literature since the late 1800s, but it is only in recent years that they have gained greater attention from researchers and conservationists. Their unique biology and ecology make them an essential component of the complex web of life in the rainforest, and their presence is a testament to the importance of preserving these vital ecosystems. This image, taken in June, offers a rare glimpse into the hidden world of the Tiger Leech, highlighting the beauty and intrigue of the rainforest and the important role that these often overlooked creatures play in the larger ecosystem.
