Staying Dry and Clean: An Insect’s Guide to Hydrophobicity
SIMPLE SUMMARY: Insects possess microscopic cuticular surface structures of different magnitudes. Such nano-, micro-, macro- and hierarchical structures often result in multifunctionality. In this review, we focus on hydrophobicity of the insect cuticle, since it often gives rise to other functions...
