"When we think of bugs today, they’re usually a software problem. This poor moth, though, was found stuck in the early Aiken Relay Calculator that Grace Hopper’s team was trying to program in 1947. While the moth’s namesakes — computer bugs — have been responsible for hundreds of disasters of all sizes, and likely thousands of deaths, this poor critter did nothing more than cause the group to waste some time and it gave up its life for post-mortem glory."

Remember her?

Where I live we are about a week into a plague of Miller moths. They are everywhere and in everything.
