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.

==Locations==

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:

* [[Valley of Repose]]

* [[Perplexing Pool]]

* [[Wistful Wild]]

* Sublevel 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 of the [[Subterranean Complex]]

* Sublevel 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the [[Frontier Cavern]]

* Sublevel 3, 4, 5 and 7 of the [[Snagret Hole]]

* Sublevel 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the [[Citadel of Spiders]]

* Sublevel 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 of the [[Shower Room]]

* Sublevel 1, 3, 4 and 5 of the [[Submerged Castle]]

* Sublevel 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 of the [[Cavern of Chaos]]

* Sublevel 6 and 13 of the [[Dream Den]]

* Sublevel 2 of the [[Explorer's Cave]]

* Sublevel 1 and 2 of [[Novice Training]]

* Sublevel 1 of the [[Sniper Room]]

* Sublevel 3 of the [[Emperor's Realm]]

* [[Angle Maze]]

* [[Blossoming Arcadia]]

* [[Giant's Hearth]]

* Sublevel 1 of the [[Sightless Passage]]

* Sublevel 5 of the [[Engulfed Castle]]

* Sublevel 2 of the [[Doppelgänger's Den]]

* Sublevel 4 of the [[Subterranean Swarm]]

{{transcript|When you break an egg expecting nectar, sometimes you'll be surprised by a flurry of Mitites. The creatures won't harm your Pikmin, but they will send them into a panic. Call your purple troops with your whistle, then stomp one of the Mitites to generate nectar and make the others scurry away.|block=y}}

|common    = Mitite. It is a play on the {{w|mite}}, a small parasitic arachnid in the real world (although the enemy has six legs instead of the mite's eight).

|jpcommon  = {{j|タマゴムシ|Tamago Mushi|Egg Insect}}.

|scientific = ''Mitivius infiltratus''. ''Mitivius'' seems made up (but similar to "Mitite"), and ''infiltratus'' is close to the English word "infiltrate". It fits, as the creature infiltrates eggs to lay its own.

|internal  = Internally, this insect is called <code>tamagomushi</code>, the same as its Japanese name.

* 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]].
