'''Mitites''' ({{j|タマゴムシ|Tamago Mushi|Egg Insect}}) are small, pink creatures with white shells and five legs, found only in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. They cannot directly harm [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], but can inadvertently cause them to be killed, such as causing them to run in panic towards a [[hazard]]. When stumbled upon, they appear in a swarm of ten, scuttling around, and just need to be alive in order for it to make nearby Pikmin panic. Any [[egg]], both on the ground and from a [[Honeywisp]], has a chance of containing Mitites, which means they can be found anywhere eggs are. These creatures always appear in groups of 10, and can also burrow up from under the ground in specific locations, such as sublevel 10 of the [[Hole of Heroes]]. They are released from the bodies of the [[Raging Long Legs]] if it has been defeated before. Any Mitites that are not dead for a set amount of time will eventually burrow underground. | |||

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]] in the [[area]]s or [[cave]]s they are found in, but can be petrified in sublevel 6 of [[Bulblax Kingdom]] and in the [[Piklopedia]] by pressing {{button|gcn|z|wii|1}}. | ||

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.

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. | When approaching an egg, keep in mind that it can drop Mitites.

Another way is to grab every single Pikmin you have ([[Red Pikmin]] are preferred) and [[Group move|swarm]] them, this is easy because they sometimes get killed in one hit. | |||

The name "Mitite" is a play on the {{w|mite}}, a small parasitic insect in the real world (although the enemy has five legs instead of the mite's eight). In Japan, it is called {{j|タマゴムシ|Tamago Mushi}}, which merely translates to "Egg Insect". Its scientific name is ''mitivius infiltratus'', in which ''mitivius'' seems made up, and ''infiltratus'' is similar to "infiltrate". It fits, as the creature infiltrates eggs to lay its own. Internally, this insect is called <code>tamagomushi</code>, the same as its Japanese name. | |||
