Yes, single celled organisms that reproduce by mitosis. Plants that reproduce asexually. Sort of, leopard gecko and tiger salamander; they reproduce by parthenogenesis. There are others.

Heat and light have no opposite.
Cold and dark are just the lack of heat and light.

You could also claim that heat and light are simply an absence of cold and dark. But they are still opposites. Also, the particles that create light have opposites.

I was thinking of things like elementary particles and universal physical constants. Forces of nature. Stuff like that.

Yes. A hermaphrodite.

Huh? No....The vast majority of things don't have an opposite. While I'll agree that not everything has an opposite, I'd have to say that there's quite a large number of things that do. A lot of things exist in duality. Black/white, heaven/hell, matter/antimatter, fire/water, earth/air. Even the seven deadly sins have their opposites. There's the color wheel, which is constructed from opposites. Day/night, dusk/dawn, sun/moon, silver/gold.

Would the opposite of everything be nothing??
In general, opposites exist in the natural world, not really in the modern one...
Is there an opposite of you, or me, or dave??

There is an opposite of a hermaphrodite - an asexual.
But enough about Democrats...

I should have been clearer about what I was asking for. I don't want examples of physical objects, or living things. I want examples of non living natural forces or elementary particles. Concepts, such as love and h**e. stuff like that. So please, no more earthworms...etc.
