What do leeches do after the eggs have hatched?

After leech eggs hatch, the young leeches, known as hatchlings, typically emerge in a fully formed state. They begin to feed on small organisms or the blood of hosts, depending on their species. Leeches often go through a series of molts as they grow, gradually increasing in size and developing their feeding capabilities. Ultimately, they will mature into adult leeches capable of reproduction.
