leechlike

The sperm cells resemble those of modern crayfish worms, leechlike animals that cling symbiotically to freshwater organisms.

Even more surprisingly, the sperm cells appeared strangely similar to those of present-day, leechlike worms called Branchiobdellids.

I discovered that to achieve perfect personal silence all I had to do was to attach myself leechlike to sound.

It is related that the first effort of procreation was not successful, the outcome being a leechlike abortion and an island of foam, the former of which was sent adrift in a boat of reeds.

It clung leechlike to chiffon of cloak and gown, and though Annesley tore at the yellow fingers, she could not loosen them.
