Synopsis: 4.4. animals: Insecta: Butterfly:

a plant modified to produce a bacterial toxin that discourages destructive bollworms and cuts down on the need for pesticides.

and butterfly wings make use of some unique surface characteristics that promote self-cleaning. The researchers believe that incorporating some of these features into man-made products might be key to tackling problems associated with biofouling.

and butterfly wings combine the low drag of shark skin with the superhydrophobicity of the lotus leaf putting these surfaces at the top of the list of nature-made self-cleaners.

and butterfly wings came to the investigators from observing these structures in their natural habitats.

and butterfly wings roll off effortlessly and that each remains clean in their respective environment says Bhushan.

and lotus leaves rice leaves and butterfly wings have special properties that make them particularly resistant to fouling.

Like shark skin rice leaves and butterfly wings exhibited low drag and self-cleaning properties.

Both rice leaves and butterfly wings contain micro -and nano-sized features that repel and direct water in one direction says Bixler.

and butterfly wings combine antifouling properties of some of nature's best self-cleaners Bhushan and Bixler have identified new surfaces that can be used as engineering inspiration for a wide range of industries plagued by biofouling.

and butterfly wing-inspired films for applications requiring low drag self-cleaning and antifouling say Bhushan.

Bushan's study on rice leaves and butterfly wings was titled Bioinspired rice leaf and butterfly wing surface structures combining shark skin

and lotus effects and was published online in the journal Soft Matter on September 11 2012. DOI:

because it is highly effective at controlling Lepidoptera larvae caterpillars. It is during the larval stage

when most of the damage by European corn borer occurs. The protein is very selective generally not harming insects in other orders (such as beetles flies bees and wasps.

Charles Ellington a Cambridge zoologist and former Weis-Fogh student built a robotic wing that could precisely mimic the movements of a hawk moth.

Famous weevils moths and borer beetles live in a very comfortable environment when in the middle of a silo or warehouse fill with grains.

Changes among the plants can be seen as they respond to cabbage white butterfly caterpillars and stinkbugs introduced during the experiment.

Baker then learned that Lakhtakia was able to replicate certain biological materials such as fly eyes and butterfly wings.
