Hey friend here is your answer

Insects have a network of tubes called tracheae or tracheal tubes, which are responsible for their respiration. Oxygen enters these tubes through several spiracles, which are valve-like openings in the exoskeleton. In insects, spiracles are situated laterally on the thorax and abdomen. Small muscles in each spiracle control their opening and air flow. Carbon dioxide is also expelled through the spiracles. It is very helpful for insect.
Hope it will help u

garimadahiya137: they do not have lungs and their blood, which is watery, yellowish liquid, does not carry oxygen and carbon dioxide around their bodies. insects have a system of tubes, called tracheae, instead of lungs. these tracheae penetrate right through the insects body, air enters the tracheae by pores called spiracles
