Abstract
We review the bioinspiration and biomimetism, for which wetting properties are involved. Nature is able to capture or repel liquids such as water, following the needs. The most famous example of water repellency is the Lotus leaves, but numerous other species are also able to capture water. On the contrary, springtails are able to repel low-surface-tension liquids, while pitcher plants are able to capture prey.
