Springtail skin morphology is translated into robust omniphobic polymer membranes by reverse imprint lithography. The combination of overhanging cross‐sections and their arrangement in a self‐supporting comblike pattern are crucial for mechanically stable coatings that can be even applied to curved surfaces.
