Leeches can be found nearly every place there is water.
Shallow ponds, lakes, and marshes are popular leech collecting sites.
The best time for leech collecting is during the spring and summer.
Most leeches are nocturnal and avoid light. Leeches can often be found in shady areas of ponds or in dark places under rocks, logs, and debris of the bottom of lakes.

Here there are some good sites:

Kingdom Animalia
Phylum Annelida
Class Hirudinea

They use a chemical called hirudin to stop blood clotting enzymes so they can suck your blood.
