Not sure what larvae/pupae the yellow stuff is and what the ants are doing with it.

Yes, @Felix, I had thought the ants were 'attacking' the larvae.
Interesting, there are some cases of symbiotic relationships between ants and caterpillars, but these ants seem aggressive.
Thanks, @Mark, so its likely the larvae/caterpillar of a Moth, Chalcocelis sp.
Maybe some limacodid like Chalcocelis albiguttatus larva.
