Nice job. It is a queen, but you will have to wait for Batspiderfish and others to identify what species it is.

and another question i have is she fully claustral or semy claustral? i plan to raise my first colony with her

[Batspiderfish]

It is a tropical Camponotus species (which frankly, might not even have received a name yet by its discoverer). She is fully-claustral and will probably grow relatively quickly, without hibernation.

I noticed she is biting the cotton on the test tube setup(the side to the outside) should i worry about that?

It's quite natural for them to do it. Try giving her a small bit of honey, that might satisfy her.
