Richard Ebright
Ebright lost interest in tagging butterflies as there was no feedback about them.
Explanation:
- In the story 'The Making of a Scientist’ we learn about the life and work of Richard Ebright, a famous scientist and lepidopterist.
- Ebright raised thousands of Monarch butterflies to study their habits.
- He tagged the butterflies and released them to study their migratory habits.
- However he soon lost interest in tagging butterflies because only two of his tagged butterflies were returned to him and they had travelled only seventy-five miles.
- Other than these two there was no feedback about the tagged butterflies .
- Ebright thus could not get any information about his raised butterflies. There was no progress in his research.
- For this he stopped raising the Monarch butterflies and lost all interest in them.

Answer:
Ebright used to tag butterflies wings and let them go. In fact, the basement of his house was home to thousands of monarch butterflies. He started losing interest in it because it was a tedious job and there wasn't much feedback.
