Not a leech, leeches have transversal rings and this guy looks very smooth.
Maybe some kind of flatworm? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platydemus_manokwari
Yup i think so, Microplana terrestris (given by someone else here) seems to match!
Almost definitely a leech. They do live in western Europe, although I’ve only met them in very watery areas (Friesland)
I was almost sure too but i poured hot water on it to kill it (and kill any from my pipes), and the belly part is white (see pic) and i cant find any leech type with white “belly”.
Not an entomologist, but I’m thinking terrestrial flatworm - with the white belly perhaps microplana terrestris?
Yup, i think you are right! Still dont know how he managed to get there, but at least im a little bit less worried to take my shower now…
I had a lot of snails these days in my garden and these flatworm prey on them, so that makes sense.
