Insects breathe via holes in their exoskeleton called spiracles. These are normally arranged in pairs, with one spiracle either side of the thorax, or each segment of their bodies.
They do not have lungs - gasses are passively exchanged throughout a network of capillaries (called trachea) that branch into their organs and tissues.
Some larger insects are able to pump their bodies to increase the rate of gas exchange, therefore, in a way, actively 'breathing' in a manner akin to you.
they breath fron a tube called tracheae, instead of lungs because they dont have any

∙ 13y agoInsects breathe through a complicated structure of tubes (called tracheae and tracheoles) and air sacs. Oxygen is pulled into the body through openings in their abdomens called spiracles. Once the oxygen has been pulled in, the outer most vents close and the air is forced into increasingly smaller pipes known as tubules, until it reaches the required cells.
