Some parasitic leeches are attracted by warmth what type of host would you expect such leeches to have, what would be the adaptive advantage of this attraction

Their adaptation is their teeth and the way they can easily latch on surfaces. The best host would be either a human or an animal because it would enable them to constantly receive warm blood and food and whatever nutrient the life form could provide them with.
