Are wasps common in the deserts of California and Arizona?

Wasps are fairly common in the deserts of California and Arizona especially species in the genera Pepsis and Hemipepsis in the family Pompilidae. They are quite large and females hunt large spiders or tarantulas which they paralyze with a sting.
