Spiracles are used by grasshoppers for respiration. Air is taken in throught the spiracles and filtered by hairs in tubes called tracheae. The trachea branch out through the body eventually ending in Tracheoles where the oxygen is distributed to cells and carbon dioxide is taken out and back throught the trachea and exits the body through the spiracles
