The close-up tells the story. A chance meeting of young and old, big and small. A Sawfly larva dwarfs an adult fly in this demonstration of a Vulcan mind meld.

A few lines from a Lord Dunsany poem seem to fit:

“And the giant with his club,
      And the dwarf with rage in his breath”

    [...] Bugdreams has a fabulous close-up shot, partially described as, “A Sawfly larva dwarfs an adult fly in this demonstration of a Vulcan mind meld.”
