This is how it could look
Underground exploration scene: inside of lava tube — long cylindrical tunnel formed by ancient flowing lava, smooth rounded ceiling and floor. Scene shown in cross-section. Team of beetle explorers (four or five different beetle species, each with small headlamp, geological hammer, specimen bag) making way through tunnel. Lava tube walls beautiful: different coloured mineral deposits, lava stalactites hanging from ceiling, ancient lava patterns preserved in walls. Beetles documenting everything: small numbered flags marking interesting geological features. At back, tunnel curves — distant small light showing another opening. One beetle found perfect lava bubble in wall and is very excited.
