Hello
The Acari themselves doesn't cause allergy, but their depositions and dead bodies are the things that the immune sistem recognizes as a threat a so the allergic reaction occurs.
There aren't many taxonomist of these arachnids and their identification is quite complicated and requires good instrumental so I doubt you can recognize one species just with a video.
Anyways there are hundreds of thousands species of this kind of arachnida, but just those who inhabits houses and feeds on dust (rests of human and animals skins) are the ones wich causes allergies I think.
Regards
