Any [[egg]] in ''Pikmin 2'', both on the ground and from a [[Honeywisp]], has a 5% chance of containing a group of ten Mitites, which means they can be found anywhere eggs are. Sets of ten can also burrow up from under the ground in specific locations, such as sublevel 10 of the [[Hole of Heroes]]. Finally, groups of Mitites are released from the bodies of a [[Raging Long Legs]] in ''Pikmin 2'' and a [[Baldy Long Legs]] in [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]] after death, the former only if it is not carrying a treasure. In ''Pikmin 4'', Mitite spawns are predetermined, and they appear outside of eggs much more frequently. Honeywisps never hold Mitite infested eggs.

Every creature in the swarm drops a pool of [[nectar]] when killed, which makes them valuable for building a flowered army. In ''Pikmin 4'', certain Mitites drop [[ultra-spicy nectar]]. When trying to get [[Poko]]s, they are also somewhat efficient. The reason Mitites are found inside eggs is because they lay ''their'' eggs inside the eggs of other organisms, making them parasitoids. Strangely, they cannot be [[ultra-bitter spray|petrified]] if they come out of an egg, but otherwise are petrified normally.

 

In ''Pikmin 2'', Mitites in eggs only come out once the egg is broken. Those that are hidden underground will come out if Pikmin or leaders get near, or if an [[Emperor Bulblax]] in the same sublevel roars. They can also be found in the [[Raging Long Legs]] in the [[Hole of Heroes]] after its treasure is collected. Once a group of Mitites appears, any nearby non-Purple Pikmin will start panicking. The enemies start moving around aimlessly as well. Any Mitites that are not killed will eventually burrow underground after a set amount of time.

 

 

Mitites can appear inside any egg in the game, including eggs carried by [[Honeywisp]]s. Once an egg breaks, there is a 5% chance that a group will come out. Besides that, Mitites burrow from under the ground when approached, or when called by an Emperor Bulblax's scream, in specific caves, normally in dead ends. These are all the locations where Mitites can spawn in:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The best way to kill Mitites is to [[throw]] [[Purple Pikmin]] onto them: any type will work, but Purple Pikmin send out shock waves that kill all of the surrounding Mitites; without purples, a direct hit is required to kill a single enemy in one hit-and-run. In addition, Purple Pikmin are the only type that do not seem to be upset by the scent of Mitites. Although this is no longer the case in ''Pikmin 4'', the shockwave is still effective. Auto lock may focus on Mitites when there is larger danger present, turning the feature intended to be helpful into a nightmare. Mitites cannot be killed by [[Group move|swarming]] Pikmin into them, and any Pikmin that attacks a Mitite from the side will fail to cause it any damage.

 

When approaching an egg, keep in mind that it can drop Mitites. As such, the best way to open eggs is to throw two or three Purple Pikmin onto them in quick succession. The first Pikmin should break the egg(s), while the next Pikmin create a shock wave to destroy the Mitites, if they appear. This way, all Mitites can be killed in a quick fashion, without scaring Pikmin. However, seeing as eggs could drop [[nectar]] pools, it's advised to use flowered [[Purple Pikmin]] to open the eggs. If the egg drops nectar and the player uses [[Maturity|leaf]] Purple Pikmin to open it, the Pikmin might drink all of the nectar before most of the other Pikmin can reach it.

* The [[Strategy guides|''Pikmin 2'' Nintendo Player's Guide]] erroneously refers to Mitites as [[Sheargrub|Sheargrubs]].{{Cite quote|If an egg yields Sheargrubs instead of nectar, the grubs will send your Pikmin into a tizzy, but your buddies won't be harmed.|Hole of Beasts, Sublevel 4|the ''Pikmin 2'' Nintendo Player's Guide}}

* While the Mitite's family is listed as unknown in the English translation of {{p2}}, it is named in the Japanese script.

** This was later changed in {{p4}}, listing it as part of the [[Mitite family]].

* The Mitite has 6 legs, making it the first anatomically correct insect in the series.
