  14. On 9 September 1947, Grace Hopper was part of a team that found a moth in the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator at Harvard. Affixing it to the computer log, the team entered: "First actual case of bug being found." The words “bug” and “debug” soon became standard computer-programmer language.
    The First "Computer Bug". Moth found trapped between points at Relay # 70, Panel F, of the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator while it was being tested at Harvard University, 9 September 1947. The operators affixed the moth to the computer log, with the entry: "First actual case of bug being found". They put out the word that they had "debugged" the machine, thus introducing the term "debugging a computer program". In 1988, the log, with the moth still taped by the entry, was in the Naval Surface Warfare Center Computer Museum at Dahlgren, Virginia. The log is now housed at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History, who have corrected the date from 1945 to 1947. Courtesy of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren, VA., 1988. NHHC Photograph Collection, NH 96566-KN (Color).
