Richard H. EBright grew up in
reading in Pennylvania in kindergarten,
Ebright collected butterflies
His mother would take him on
trips, bought him telescope, microscope,
cameras, mounting materials, and other
materials required for learning.
By the time he was in the
second grade, Ebright had collected all
twentyfive species of butterflies found
around his hometown.
His mother gave him a children’s
book called “The Travels of Monarch X.
”That book, which told how monarch
butterflies migrate to Central America,
opened the world of science to Richard.
At the end of book readers were
asked to tag butterflies for research by
Dr. Frederick A. Urquhart of the
University of Toronto, Canada.
For several years his basement
was home to thousands of monarchs
in different stages of development.
He would catch a female monarch,
take her eggs, and raise them in his basement
through their life cycle, from egg to caterpillar
to pupa to adult butterfly.
In county science fair his entry was
slides of frog tissues, which he showed
under a microscope.
For his eighth grade project, Ebright
tried to find the cause of a viral disease that
kills nearly all monarch caterpillars every few years.
The next year his science fair project was
testing the theory that viceroy butterflies
copy monarchs.
This project was placed first in
the zoology division and third overall in the
county science [Link] he won third place for
zoology. lndirectly, it also led to
his new theory on the life of cells.
This project won Ebright first place in the
county fair and entry into the International
Science and Engineering Fair.
In his second year in high school,
Richard Ebright began the research
that led to his discovery of an unknown
insect hormone.
