They exchange gases with the environment by pumping them through a complex system of tubes called tracheae. (Modern Biology Book)
Dragonflies 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.

How caterpillar breath?
on each side of the caterpillar's segment,there is an oval opening called the spiracle.This leads in to a branching tube,the trachea,that delivers air to all of the segments.The caterpillar does not actually breathe,but the compression and extension of each segment as the caterpillar moves causes the air to go in and out of the spiracles,so that oxygen can be taken in,and carbon dioxide given out.
