Detailed explanation-1: -the tracheal respiratory system of insects is a light-weight, tubular system for exchanging gases between atmosphere and tissue. Its basic structure consists of tracheal tubes, which are formed from invaginations of the entire integument of the cuticle.
Detailed explanation-2: -Instead of breathing in air, grasshoppers use tiny holes located on their abdomen called Spiracles; the Spiracles are located along both sides of the abdomen and are used to bring air into the grasshoppers body.
