How does a mosquito get its oxygen?

Mosquitoes obtain oxygen primarily through a process called diffusion. As they breathe, oxygen from the surrounding air enters their bodies through tiny openings in their exoskeleton called spiracles. This oxygen then diffuses into their tissues, where it is used for cellular respiration. In water, mosquito larvae extract oxygen from the surface by using specialized structures like siphons.
