Los saltamontes payaso (familia Eumastacidae) son insectos peculiares y fascinantes que se encuentran principalmente en los bosques tropicales y subtropicales de todo el mundo. Se ganan su distintivo apodo debido a sus colores brillantes y patrones llamativos. La mayor\u00eda de las especies de esta familia carecen por completo de alas, por lo que dependen de unas patas traseras desproporcionadamente grandes y poderosas para catapultarse lejos del peligro con una gran fuerza. Al pertenecer a un linaje antiguo y primitivo de ort\u00f3pteros, exhiben preferencias alimenticias \u00fanicas: ignoran las plantas con flores modernas para alimentarse casi exclusivamente de vegetaci\u00f3n primitiva como helechos, gimnospermas, musgos e incluso algas. Mientras exploraba las exuberantes selvas de Ecuador, me top\u00e9 con muchos de estos insectos de aspecto tan singular. Durante un paseo por el parque urbano de Puyo, logr\u00e9 capturar algunas fotograf\u00edas macro n\u00edtidas y detalladas de un ejemplar que descansaba entre el denso follaje.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
