Yes. I just saw a mud dauber flying around and landing with a black widow underneath it. I was googling around for the same answer and learned that mud daubers eat Spiders which explained what was going on.

Can a mud dauber sting?

mud daubers are predators.Black and yellow mud daubers primarily prey on relatively small, colorful spiders, such as crab spiders (and related groups), orb weavers and some jumping spiders. They usually find them in and around vegetation. Blue mud daubers are the main predator of the black and brown widow spiders. To capture a spider, the wasp grabs it and stings it into submission. The venom from the sting does not kill the spider, but paralyzes and preserves it so it can be transported and stored in the nest cell until consumed by the larva. [So no , it doesn't kill humans]
