[Answer] Which insect inspired the term "computer bug"?

We have looked all around the web to find the most relevant answer to your query: 


Which insect inspired the term "computer bug"?


  • Moth:The first "computer bug" was, in fact, a literal bug. Computer scientist and U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Grace Hopper, coined the term bug in 1947 after operators traced an error in Harvard University's Mark II computer to a moth trapped in a relay. The moth was carefully removed and taped to the machines' log book. Grace Hopper added the caption "First actual case of bug being found". This was the first time anyone used the word "bug" to describe a computer glitch. The engineers who found the moth were the first to literally "debug" a machine.
