How Do Mosquitoes Breathe?
The mosquito breathes with spiracles.
Spiracles are small holes on the sides of the bodies.
This is an adaption because th spiracles help the mosquito breathe,
because air flows into the holes and tubes carry the air to
different parts of the body. The abdomen has eight pairs of spiracles (16 spiracles).
