Grasshoppers as well as other insects have a tracheal system instead of a respiratory system to move gases. A respiratory system requires energy to move the gases where as the tracheal system uses a process of simple diffusion which does not use any energy.

Do grasshoppers have lungs?

A grasshopper needs to breathe air-just as a person does. But grasshoppers don't have lungs. Instead, they have tiny holes, called spiracles, in their thoraxes and abdomens. A grasshopper has 10 pairs of spiracles. Air goes into the insect's body through the front holes. Air leaves the body through the back holes. Next time you see a grasshopper, look at it closely. You will see its abdomen move in and out as it breathes.
