A year ago I found a dead butterfly moth in my Unix machine. Having heard the
story of the original moth, I taped it in my own log book.

Unfortunately, half a year later the butterfly was not more than a
few particles of dust. That's why I seriously doubt whether the
original moth has 'survived' all those years in order for it to
become a legend.
