Insect attachment on crystalline bioinspired wax surfaces formed by alkanes of varying chain lengths

The impeding effect of plant surfaces covered with three-dimensional wax on attachment and locomotion of insects has been shown previously in numerous experimental studies. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of different parameters of crystalline wax coverage on insect attachment. We pe...
