Insect Classification: Insects are arthropods. All animals in the phylum Arthropoda have exoskeletons, segmented bodies, and at least three pairs of legs. Other classes that belong to the phylum Arthropoda include: Arachnida (spiders), Crustacea (crabs), and Myriopoda (millipedes and centipedes).ther insects have chewing mouthparts and eat leaves or other plant matter. Some insects bite or pinch, and others pierce and suck blood or plant fluids. The pair of antennae may have obvious segments, or look like a feather. They come in different forms and are a clue to identifying the insect.
DEFINITION of 'Interdealer Market' A trading market that is typically only accessible by banks and financial institutions. The interdealer market is an over-the-counter market that is not restricted to a physical location; rather, it is a global market where representatives of banks and financial institutions execute trades through their trading terminals.
Broker-dealers are at the heart of the securities and derivatives trading process. Although many broker-dealers are independent firms solely involved in broker-dealer services, many others are business units or subsidiaries of commercial banks, investment banks or investment companies. When executing trade orders on behalf of a customer, the institution is said to be acting as a broker. When executing trades for its own account, the institution is said to be acting as a dealer. Securities bought from clients or other firms in the capacity of dealer may be sold to clients or other firms acting again in the capacity of dealer, or they may become a part of the firm's holdings.
