sniffnoySaw a really neat bug outside MC 9 today. Dr. Mayers said it was a camel cricket.
Here's a picture of a camel cricket:

It looked a lot like that, so I suppose it was one. It jumped really far.
ADDENDUM: That reminds me, today also Dr. Nevard found a bug in Mathematica. It said ∫∫|cos(x+y)|dxdy on the region [0,π]×[0,π] was 0, which it's clearly not (it's 2π), and when we had it integrate it numerically, it ran into some problems doing it, although it did come out with about 2π as the answer.
