I have heard Grace Hopper tell this story several times of a moth getting
into a machine. As I recall, she was one of the people who found the moth
and put it in the log book. The machine was one of the the early
computers at the Aiken Computation Lab at Harvard, either the Mark I or
the Mark IV, I think.
An article in IEEE Spectrum a few years ago had a photo of the logbook page,
complete with the moth.
