The first computer ‘bug’ ever found.
A moth found was found trapped between the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator while being tested at Harvard University in 1947. The moth was literally added to the computer log and tagged as the “First actual case of bug being found”. Later, they would use the word “debugged” when the moth was removed from the machine.
