Biomimetic water-collecting materials inspired by nature

Here, the water-collecting materials inspired by the three typical and widely-researched creatures (cactus, spider, desert beetle) are first introduced. Then, another eight animals and plants (butterfly, shore birds, wheat awns, green bristlegrass bristle, Cotula fallax plant, Namib grass, green tree frogs and Australian desert lizards) that are rarely reported are followed to be complemented.
