Libellulidae Brachythemis contaminata on Nelumbo nucifera leaf with water drops, in a pond

Summary edit

Description
English: Libellulidae Brachythemis contaminata, male, on Nelumbo nucifera leaf (Sacred lotus) with water drops, at the surface of a muddy pond, in Don Det, Si Phan Don, Laos. The texture of the Nelumbo is ultrahydrophobic and this particularity gave its name to the Lotus effect, when drops of water slide on the surface without wetting it.

La texture du Nelumbo est superhydrophobe et cette propriété a donné son nom à l'effet lotus, quand les gouttes d'eau glissent sur la surface sans la mouiller.
