The new image of the month on Micronaut.ch shows the surface of a mosquito egg (Culex pipiens). European mosquitoes lay their water-repellent eggs directly onto the water surface, where they form large aggregations ('egg-rafts'). To avoid drowning, the eggs are equipped with a spectacular looking superhydrophobic surface. High-tech designed by nature... enjoy!
