Figures
The images for Figures 3 and 5 are incorrectly switched. The images for Figures 4 and 6 are also incorrectly switched. The figure legends appear in the correct order. Please find the corrected figures and their legends below.
Left: species 10 A. laricis magnification 8 000X, Right: species 12 X. maritima 15 000X magnification. The images show sections of the cuticle where a prism shaped part has been removed by FIB milling, while the structuring around it was protected by a layer of platinum, to reveal cross sections of the granules. A single granule is highlighted by a white circle in each image. In species 10 there is no evidence of overhang, in species 12 overhang is present.
The schematic shows how the structural parameters ,

were measured from SEM images.
Measured advancing () and receding (
) contact angles with one standard deviation error bars as compared to the values predicted by the Wenzel (
), Cassie-Baxter (
) and the Choi (
) equations. The minimum limit for contact angles considered superhydrophobic is denoted by a dotted line at 150°. Rows marked with an asterisk (*) denote predicted values based on secondary granules.
The maximum limit for contact angle hysteresis considered superhydrophobic is denoted by a dotted line at 10°. Rows marked with an asterisk (*) denote predicted values based on secondary granules.
