AB  - Artificial compound eyes (ACEs) endowed with durable superhydrophobicity, wide 
      field-of-view (FOV), and antireflection properties are extremely appealing in 
      advanced micro-optical systems. However, the simple and high-efficiency 
      fabrication of ACEs with these functions is still a major challenge. Herein, 
      inspired by moth eyes, ACEs with hierarchical macro/micro/nano structures were 
      fabricated using the combination of nanotip-focused electrohydrodynamic jet 
      (NFEJ) printing and air-assisted deformation processes. The NFEJ printing enables 
      the direct and maskless fabrication of hierarchical micro/nanolens arrays 
      (M/NLAs) without intermediate steps. The introduction of M/NLAs on the eye 
      surface significantly improves the water hydrophobic performance with a water 
      contact angle of 161.1 degrees  and contact angle hysteresis (CAH) of 4.2 degrees  and generally 
      decreases the reflectance by 51% in the wavelength range of 350-1600 nm in 
      comparison to the macroeye without any structures. The contact angle remains 
      almost unchanged, and the CAH slightly increases from 4.2 degrees  to 8.7 degrees  after water 
      jet impact for 20 min, indicating a durable superhydrophobicity. Moreover, the 
      results confirm that the durable superhydrophobic ACEs with antireflection 
      properties exhibit excellent imaging quality and a large FOV of up to 160 degrees  
      without distortion.
