Subwavelength‐structured silicon and glass pillar arrays that mimic both the unique functionalities of antireflective moth eyes and superhydrophobic cicada wings have been fabricated by a simple and scalable colloidal templating technique. The resulting biomimetic multifunctional coatings have important technological applications ranging from solar cells to flat panel displays.
