What is a life cycle of leech?

The life cycle of a leech typically involves several stages, starting with the egg stage, where eggs are laid in clusters and protected by a gelatinous cocoon. After hatching, the young leeches, called hatchlings, emerge and resemble miniature adults. As they grow, they undergo multiple molts, progressing through several juvenile stages before reaching maturity. Adult leeches can reproduce and continue the cycle, often living for several years.
