Demodex species.
demodex
In the video clip, I see 6 specimens of Demodex folliculorum (two of them embedded in the follicle). According to the length of their body, they are most probably the nymphal stages.
Indeed Demodex folliculorum.
Nice photo and video material!
That is a Demodex folliculorum. Nice video
DEMODEX
This micromite is called Demodex
It can be found in many acarology text
Not designed to move very far
8 stubby legs and the shape of a cigar
It dwells in the follicles of old ones brow

Usually nonpathogenic but occasionally is thought
To cause rosacea however this theory is fraught
with controversy. We have only to thank Herr Dr. Jake Henie
Who discovered this mini monster dwelling within Thee
Nice poem Old One.
