Oxygen limits the size of insects primarily due to their respiratory system, which relies on a network of tracheae to transport oxygen directly to tissues. As insects grow larger, the diffusion of oxygen becomes less efficient, making it difficult to supply sufficient oxygen to all body parts. Additionally, the higher metabolic demands of larger bodies require more oxygen than can be effectively delivered through this tracheal system. Consequently, most insects remain relatively small to ensure adequate oxygen supply for survival and activity.
No, insects do not use stomata to get their oxygen. Different insects have different ways of getting their oxygen but none have to get it from a plants stomata.
One of the major factors limiting the size of insects today is the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere. Currently, the atmosphere is about 21% oxygen. At earlier times, the oxygen concentration was as high as 36%. Vertebrates now largely rule as the large land animals.

Low rainfall will limit the growth of plants that are needed at the base of the food chain to support insects, small mammals, birds, etc. This will mean less to eat for the prediators.
Insects do have a respiratory system. The using organs called spiracles to introduce oxygen from the atmosphere into their bodies. These spiracles then let oxygen flow into the tracheal system which is a system of tubes that delivers oxygen to the parts of the body where it is needed.

for eating insects and it gets its food from oxygen (other insects )
Cause they breath oxygen and don't produce oxygen.
The way in which insects and fish breathe differs in the process in which each receives oxygen. Insects use a tracheal system to receive oxygen and fish use their gills to filter oxygen out of the water.
diffusion and osmosis limit the size of a cell by how fast is can move
You can learn the size of the insects prey.
Insects take in oxygen through tiny openings in their bodies called spiracles. These spiracles are connected to a network of tubes called tracheae, which deliver oxygen directly to their cells.
