" protection, and the entire species very in color dependi". Wrong word

Typically in hymenoptera eusocial species young workers are kept in the nest for care duties, and leave for foraging when they're older so that their inevitable demise to predation is less of a burden. But I'm not sure about naked mole rats, they seem to display the reverse, like your submission, possibly due to digging demands. Age polyethism is the term.

" oily secretion that gives off a distinct order." Wrong word

Maybe an elaboration on why genetic diversity among workers is beneficial? In honeybees it provides workers that respond to different degrees of temperature fluctuation and results in different groups of workers cooling or warming in different quantities and better maintains a consistent temperature.

Unless the genetic diversity is meant to refer to the creation of kings and queens rather than workers as well.

I like that these produce reproductive caste unrelated to the death of the queen, so the existence of colonies don't fluctuate so much.
Like honeybees vs bumblebees for example.
.
It's a well made critter.

Fixed the grammatical errors.

Yes, the genetic diversity refers to the creation of kings and queens, as that is when the queen stops producing workers, soldiers, and architects.

Thanks! I worked really hard on making this species make sense!

You accidentally said "Undergroundi workers and kings" twice for the king.

"Their lives first begin by being birthed out of the imobile and blind queen as relatively helpless young who then get taken to a nursery chamber. "

You misspelled "immobile" and there should be a comma after "young"

Lastly, IDK about the queen living a whole century IMO, I could agree on 50-70 years though.

Made the grammatical changes!

I feel like the queens should live a very long time, and i felt like a century would work nicely for that. I can see them living about 70-80 years though. Does that seem reasonable for a compromise?

I think so, I'm also imagining this thing has a lower metabolism compared to its other caste members.

I feel like this review was for something else, probably some kind of jewel-eyed sauceback, because almost none of what is in the review matches this nodent @TheBigDeepCheatsy
