'''Mitites''' <span style="line-height:20px;">(</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;line-height:19px;">タマゴムシ) </span>are small, pink creatures with white shells and five legs, found in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''.

===Nintendo Player's Guide===
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.
''"When you break an egg expecting nectar, sometimes you'll be suprised by a flurry of Mitites. The creatures won't harm your Pikmin, but they will send them into a panic.

==Battle Strategy==
When approaching an egg, the player should keep in mind that it can drop Mitites. As such, the best way to open eggs is to throw 2 or 3 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 leaf Purple Pikmin to open the egg, they might drink all of the nectar before most of the other Pikmin can reach it.
The best way to kill Mitites is to throw [[Purple Pikmin]] onto them: any color 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. Also, Purples are the only Pikmin that do not seem to be afraid of mitites.


Another way is to grab every single Pikmin you have ([[Red Pikmin]] are preferred) and swarm them, this is easy because they sometimes get killed in 1 hit.
[[Image:Mitite.jpg|frame|Artwork of four Mitites.]]
 
If a Purple Pikmin is thrown directly on top of a Mitite filled egg it will kill every one inside of it. This method is great for making Pikmin above ground and getting Nectar underground. (Note: Mitites are (sometimes) randomly placed in eggs, there is no way to tell where they are so this method could take a some time). As they send your Pikmin into a panic, be careful about opening eggs near enemies.

==Trivia==
*Its scientific name, '''''Mitivius infiltratus''''', loosely means 'Infiltrating Mites'. ''Mitivius'' sounds somewhat like mite, and ''infiltratus ''sounds similar to inflitrate. It also fits, as it inflitrates eggs to lay its own.
*The Mitite, unlike real-life [[Wikipedia:Mite|Mites]], is quintepedal rather than octopedal. Therefore, it is not a traditional arachnid, as is unique to all of Earth's lifeforms.
*[http://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Baby_Gohma Baby Gohmas] from [http://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Twilight_Princess The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess] resemble Mitites, and their designs may have been inspired by them.

Mitites are small, pink creatures with white shells and six legs, found in Pikmin 2. They cannot directly harm 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, sending both themselves and any Pikmin they pass near into a 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. This means that they can be found anywhere except for Emergence Cave, as eggs can't be found when it is explored. These creatures also burrow up from under the ground in specific locations, such as sublevel 10 of the Hole of Heroes; and are released from the bodies of some Raging Long Legs once defeated. Any Mitites that are not killed eventually burrow underground.

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 Pokos, 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 petrified in the areas or cave they are found in (save sublevel 6 of Bulblax Kingdom), but can be petrified in the Piklopedia by pressing Z / Wiimote 1.png.

Notes

Olimar's notes

These parasitic insects feed on eggs. Upon reaching maturity, they excrete a special pheromone that attracts females of particular species, enticing these females to swallow the mitites whole. (Pikmin, however, seem to dislike the scent.) After entering the host female's body, the mitites lay their own eggs inside the host's eggs just prior to the host spawning.

Louie's notes

Flash-fry with garlic and red chilis in a hot pan, then sprinkle with grated gorgonzola. Some dinner guests may find the legs unappealing, so it's best to remove them before serving.

Killing strategy

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.

When approaching an egg, the player should keep in mind that it can drop Mitites. As such, the best way to open eggs is to throw 2 or 3 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 leaf Purple Pikmin to open the egg, they might drink all of the nectar before most of the other Pikmin can reach it.
