Announcing the news on Instagram stories, Outernet stated the Butterfly Trail would be played every 30 minutes due to "popular demand".

The display, which is a collaboration between Outernet and Pixel Artworks, allows visitors to interact with butterflies through their phone screens by scanning a QR code. 

The full times of when the Butterfly Trail will be shown at the Now building are available on the Outernet app, which can be downloaded from both the Apple and Google Play stores.
