[edit] Which species?

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. Glendoremus 01:46, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
