Particle Adhesion Measurements on Insect Wing Membranes Using Atomic Force Microscopy

<table>Graph displaying the adhesion values of two different silica particle sizes (4.5 and 30 <i>μ</i>m silica beads) with a flat, hydrophilic silicon wafer, and a cicada, butterfly, and flower wasp wing membrane. Falsely coloured SEM images below the graph show the surface topographies of the two silica and two pollen particles used in this study.</table>
