From: Nanoscale mesh acts as anti-adhesive surface against particulate contamination in eyes of whiteflies
SEM images of an air dried whitefly Bemisia tabaci and thrip Frankliniella occidentalis. (a) Head of the whitefly is heavily covered with wax particles. Data in (a) and (b) show relative contamination of the compound eye, i.e. the ratio between number of particles on eye and body. (b) Head and body of the similar-sized thrips. This animal has no acanthae on its body, no dimple-like nanostructures on the cornea, and no wax canals.
