Best Answer

The ladybug has spiracles (holes in their body) on their sides and the thorax (body section which wings and legs are attached to) through which the air enters. The oxygen then moves through the tubules in the ladybug's body along the concentration gradient to the respiring cells, and the carbon dioxide which is produced by the cells moves along the concentration gradient to the spiracles and leaves the insect.
