Grasshoppers possess an internal respiratory surface where air enters through spiracles and travels through tracheal tubes. Arthropods and some mollusks transport oxygen via hemocyanin.
Les criquets ont une surface respiratoire interne où l'air entre par les stigmates et circule dans des tubes trachéaux. Les arthropodes et certains mollusques transportent l'oxygène via l'hémocyanine.
