Archaeologists from the Zalău County Museum of History and Art have identified a monetary treasure of 36 medieval coins in the village of Sântă Măria, in the northwestern Romania county of Sălaj, after an archeology enthusiast accidentally discovered several coins with a metal detector.
It was September 2020 when Cristian Marincaș discovered six medieval coins in the Sântă Măria village, with the help of a metal detector.

Walking through this lush, tropical forest, visitors may not realize at first that they are among the monumental remains of a large ancient Maya center...
Thus, most of the monumental features of this ancient city remain ‘hidden’ beneath its tropical forest shroud. But now, teams of researchers, led by Ford, have recently undertaken a new way of “seeing” the ancient settlement and its surrounding context with high-tech eyes, significantly expanding their understanding of the true complexity and size of its otherwise ‘invisible’ human-modified landscape.
“We have integrated LiDAR imagery into settlement surveys for seven years to examine the landscape beyond “downtown” El Pilar,” writes Ford and her team of researchers about their recent research**. LiDAR is a method for measuring distances in the topography of an area by directing laser light from aerial positions to the surface and then measuring its reflection with a sensor. The differences in laser return times and wavelengths are then applied to mapping technology to create digital 3-D and other images of the landscape, as well as creating new data sets about the landscape..

Thanks to the several people who correctly sent me the identity of the bug I asked about. It is a Scarlet-Bodied Wasp Moth.
You probably heard this before if you ever took an introductory computer class, but the reason a computer glitch is called a "bug" is dead bug was found to be causing a short circuit on one of the very early computers.
