One's reputation was very important and even though the Puppet Masters disappeared from the Luniverse 18 years ago, the rural areas would have heard of this frightening title.
Those who reared rebirth butterflies were called butterfly fanatics. This meant that they were free and unfettered by the outside world. They only cared about rearing butterflies.
Rebirth butterflies took 100 years to break out of their cocoon. But this did not mean that they did not need to take care of the butterflies. The cocoon was as large as a palm and attached itself to a tree branch. Firstly, the tree could not die within these 100 years in order for the butterfly to survive.
Furthermore, the rebirth butterfly had many natural enemies. When it turned into a cocoon, many creatures who fed on insects would easily be able to break open the cocoon and eat it.
