Quote – Holmes on ‘Entomology’
” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”

Ferry is correct, didn't take him very long. Next one will definitely have to be more difficult.
Mitch had the right idea, they are arteries in the sense that they are transportation corridors, but instead of blood they they transport air to every cell. Some think that this breathing system is the factor that limits the size of insects. Some very ancient (fossil) insects were much larger, made possible by the higher concentration of oxygen in the air.

These things are reasonably tough and flexible.
