Hydrophobic-hydrophilic crown-like structure enables aquatic insects to reside effectively beneath the water surface
Suzuki, Takaku, Hariyama and colleagues report on a crown-like structure found on the heads of midge larvae. This structure, analysed using scanning electron microscopy and experimental methods, enables subsurface adhesion and aids in control of locomotion in this region of the water column.
