A–D) SEM images of the biomimetic structures fabricated in steel, with the experimental parameters given in Table 1, arranged according to increasing laser fluence Inline graphic and number of scans. The total fabrication time for all the areas was kept constant by adjusting the scan speed and repetition rate accordingly. For all structure types, the characteristic shape of one or a few of the unit structures is outlined in red. In E), from left to right, images of the corresponding real structures found in the Dysodius lunatus bark bug [29], Texas horned lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum) (image adapted from [30], an article under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 License, http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0, copyright 2011 P.
