Estamos / Venimos / Nos reunimos...


Explanation:
Estamos aquí / Venimos aquí / Nos reunimos aquí para hacer un experimento: qué siente un insecto al ser devorado por un depredador / cuando cae en las garras de un animal de presa.

(The second option is a little more "free" and your choice would depend on the tone and nature of the experiment.)
