Insects have no lungs and just absorb air directly through their sides. This is possible because volume goes down much faster than surface area as things get smaller, so there is enough surface area on the insect to supply enough air directly to the small volume of internal organs that they have without the need for lungs.

Most insects have air tubes that run through their body, which, as other people have noted, are connected to holes in their sides.

Insects have spiracles on their sides which take in oxygen and a simple heart.

Yes. They breathe through spiracles (tiny holes) on the sides of their abdomen.

many insects have little holes on their abdomen, it's their "windpipe and lungs"
