Tiny nanopatterns on the locust-like insect's wing surface simply tear the microorganisms apart. The wings of the clanger cicada ( psaltoda claripennis ) are covered by nano-sized "pillars" arranged in a vast hexagonal pattern.ivanova and colleagues experimented with bacteria with different physical properties to see what happens when they land on the wing surface. a biophysical model of the interactions between bacterial cells and cicada wing surface structures, and show that mechanical properties, in particular cell rigidity, are they factors in bacterial resistenace / sensitivity to the bactericidal nature of the wing surface ".
