This is one of the most arid areas of the world, receiving only 1.4 centimetres (0.55 in) of rain per year. The beetle is able to survive by collecting water on its bumpy back surface from early morning fogs.

I changed species to Stenocara gracilipes. It seems clear from all the online references that the particular beetle used as a model for water absorption nanotechnology is in the genus Stenocara but there are few references to S. gracilipes. If someone has access to the original Nature article, it would be useful to confirm.
Such is the case with Onymacris unguicularis and Stenocara gracilipes, which in non-scientific literature have both been called the “fog-basking beetle.” The confusion seems to originate from a paper [ 11 ] detailing a mechanism for S. gracilipes ’s ability to capture water using hydrophilic bumps and hydrophobic troughs on the beetle’s ...

Like several other invasive ants, such as the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta), the big-headed ant (Pheidole megacephala), the little fire ant (Wasmannia auropunctata), and the Argentine ant (Linepithema humile), the yellow crazy ant is a "tramp ant", a species that easily becomes established and dominant in new habitat due to traits ...
