If you have heard of what survival experts call the ‘Rule of Three‘ you know that you can only live without water for about 3 days (along with 3 minutes without air, 3 weeks without food, etc).

In some of the driest regions on Earth where average rainfall measurements are slim to none, there are a few insects and plants that have evolved an amazing ability to pull the water right from the air, from the fog that drifts in from the warm oceans nearby.
