The Deep Forest beckons...

You find yourself stood in the deep forest; large, lumbering beetles stomp about the leaf litter as a small raccoon dog nuzzles a broken VHS tape.

Hello there! I am a buggy-foxy being named Pepper (the very one you see happily wagging their brush in greeting above this text!), a little insect-vulpine critter with a collective of various arthropods residing in my rather fluffy coat. This is my Digital Forest, a place where I coexist in this little forest with various critters and other beings that live, or at the very least seem to be here often. There's some edible wild berry bushes over there, so help yourself to some if you're peckish and when you're ready, why not explore for a while?

I am the custodian of this forest, a tiny patch I have been cultivating in the vast digital Landscape of the internet as a dedicated place for what I produce with my tarsal bugfox paws, as well as my dearest special interests! Across this Digital Forest you will find my artwork and comics (including my main webcomic project, God Animal!), pages and writings dedicated to my special interests such as biology, fox plushes and Pet Monster media and a clearing in the forest that contains a myriad of links to other locations of interest on the internet. There may also be some areas of the Digital Forest that are a little off the beaten path, which may or may not contain some silly critter antics and fun...! This Digital Forest a constantly growing and evolving entity, with new areas appearing often!

However you choose to explore this Digital Forest and engage with it, I hope you enjoy your time here. Yip! ^w^

Bug of the Month-February 2026

Scolopendra cataracta, a species of Scolopendromorph centipede, sometimes known as the Waterfall Centipede.

Endemic to South Eastern Asia (with its documented range spanning areas of Thailand, Laos and Vietnam), Scolopendra cataracta is a delightfully unique species of Scolopendromorph centipede. This centipede is semi-aquatic and has been observed entering bodies of freshwater such as streams, employing undulating movements in order to swim along them. Much like other giant centipedes in the Scolopendra genus found within the region, it possesses a pair of modified front legs, forcipules, within which contain venom glands that it uses to prey upon other invertebrates.

This lovely centipede species was first described as recently as 2016 and is at present the first and only known semi-aquatic species of centipede. Appropriately, the species name in the binomial classification of this species (cataracta) is a Latin word for waterfall. How wonderful it always is to see a species evolve to occupy a rather unusual or unexpected ecological niche!

Myriapoda, Chilopoda, Scolopendromorpha, Scolopendridae, Scolopendrinae, Scolopendra.

17th January 2026

As of today, I have implemented a new look for the site and overhauled all of the main pages! I plan to add some further tiled background image assets, as well as produce some small icons to accompany the navigation menu. I have now reworked all of the main pages of the site, though if anything that was present before was missing, it will be added again in due course.

If there are any issues with any elements or pages not functioning as intended (or you have any general suggestions or feedback), please by all means do not hesitate to inform me via a comment on my Neocities site profile (if you have a Neocities account, of course). Otherwise, I hope you enjoy the new look of the Digital Forest. It feels a lot more faithful to my intended aesthetic and feel of the site, if I do say so. ^w^

• I am currently writing an article for the Bugfox Biology Writings section. It concerns some of my favourite beetle families and species, as well as a general overview of the order Coleoptera!
• I intend to add more writings to the Pet Monsters section, in addition to finishing the Digimon World Iceberg Chart page. In the case of the latter, I have a small number of entries to add. As for additional articles intended for the Pet Monsters section, stay tuned. :3
• I am currently collating material for the Fox Plush Photography page, too!
