Insects breathe via holes in their exoskeleton called spiracles. These are normally arranged in pairs, with one spiracle either side of the thorax, or each segment of their bodies. They do not have nostrils like we do.
Maggots breathe oxygen. They are insect larvae and are similar in this regard to all other insects.
Squeezing any animal in the thorax would create distress. Since insects breathe through their skeleton squeezing them in the thorax does not interfere with breathing. However, squeezing the insect could kill it.
No, a frog is not considered an insect. Frogs belong to the class Amphibia, while insects belong to the class Insecta. Frogs are vertebrates, have backbones, and are characterized by moist skin and the ability to breathe through their skin, while insects are invertebrates with exoskeletons.

The insect that is called an anti-social insect is the ant. However, there are times when ants are referred to as social creatures.
All insects breathe through their skin.
They are called sphericals.

The insect uses its spiracles to breathe through instead of their mouth.

During the pupa stage of development, an insect undergoes metamorphosis and does not actively breathe. Instead, gas exchange occurs through small openings in the outer casing of the pupa, allowing oxygen to enter and carbon dioxide to exit. This process is sufficient to meet the minimal oxygen needs of the pupa until it emerges as an adult insect.
All insects breathe through spiracles, except for insects that live in the water. A water stick insect breathes through an air tube.
Insect have thin tube called tracheas which basically do for them what the lungs does for us.
Dolphins are mammals. They bear live young and use lungs to breathe air. They also have (a little)facial hair!
No they can't. This insect swims upside-down and carries a bubble of air on its ventral side which gives it a silvery appearance. The ventral side is covered in hairs which prevent water from covering the spiracles that the insect uses to breathe.
