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.
Mud daubers are a variety of wasp which build their nests out of mud or use the nests of other species of wasp. Mud daubers which survive the cold months are immature individuals which spend the Winter in the nest.
Mud daubers are solitary wasps, so it is very unlikely that they will sting you (unless you do something like trap one in your hand). Unlike hornets and yellow jackets, mud daubers do not defend their nests.
no they do not eat mud they eat worms,small bugs,and all kind of dead fish

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]
