Freshwater Jawless Leeches (Family Glossiphoniidae)Observer
blecaplainDescription
Glossiphoniidae : Helobdella (2 eyes) seem to be a correct genus but no european Helobdella have tubercles like this.
Other possibility : young Glossiphonia (nebulosa) but structure of the body is more for Helobdella than Glossiphonia
Any idea ?

Within area of 2021 Caldor Fire impact.
