Any [[egg]], both on the ground and from a [[Honeywisp]], has a 5% chance of containing Mitites, which means they can be found anywhere eggs are. They can also burrow up from under the ground in specific locations, such as sublevel 10 of the [[Hole of Heroes]]. Finally, they are also released from the bodies of the [[Raging Long Legs]] if it has been defeated before. | Any [[egg]], both on the ground and from a [[Honeywisp]], has a 5% chance of containing Mitites, which means they can be found anywhere eggs are.

Every creature in the swarm drops a pool of [[nectar]] when killed, which makes them valuable for building a flowered army. 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]], sublevel 10 of the Hole of Heroes, and in the [[Piklopedia]] by pressing {{button|gc|z|wii|1}}. | Every creature in the swarm drops a pool of [[nectar]] when killed, which makes them valuable for building a flowered army.

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 (but similar to "Mitite"), and ''infiltratus'' is close to the English word "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. | ||
