Because of the chance of birds or other predators eating them, or a failed emergence from their cocoon or chrysalis, some butterflies may live less than a day. Many chrysalis can also fall prey to different parasites and never reach the butterfly stage. Scientists estimate that there are up to 15,000 species of butterflies and 250,000 species of moths. There are still thousands of moth and butterfly species that have not been found or described by scientists. In the United States and Canada, more than 750 species of butterflies and 11,000 species of moths have been recorded. Many species of moths and a few kinds of butterflies are still being discovered. There is still much to be discovered and learned.
