Lifting removal process: A 100-μm-diameter PMMA particle indicated by the dashed circle was partially capped with some water condensate. The capping water film coalesced with an approaching drop at 0 μs, triggering the jumping of the merged drop. The jumping drop lifted away the particle that remained on the wing surface until 200 μs. The approaching drop was the result of a previous coalescence; see details in Movie S2.
