Egralla mites were insect pests that fed on data storage devices. They could infest libraries and archives, endangering their collections, and could require exterminators to remove. They could travel between systems on starships, and preferred to make for high ground.[1]
A few years before Jedi Masters Eeth Koth and Oppo Rancisis visited the library in the Jedi outpost on the planet Kwenn, the caretaker Seneschal Voh had dealt with an infestation there. Voh theorized that it happened because the local spaceport was skimping on decontamination of incoming ships. He stated that the mites were to data devices what mynocks were to starships. Unable to deal with the infestation himself, Voh had hired an exterminator.[1]
