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.
To remove mud daubers from mud, gently spray the affected area with water to loosen the mud. Then, use a soft brush or cloth to wipe away the mud and the daubers. Make sure to clean the area thoroughly to prevent them from returning.
Primarily spiders, but I would figure anything small enough to carry back to their nests.
Mud daubers survive the winter by entering a state of dormancy called diapause. They seek shelter in protected areas like attics or wall voids where they remain inactive until the temperatures rise in the spring. During this time, their metabolism slows down, allowing them to conserve energy and survive in colder conditions.
Mud daubers are not aggressive and rarely sting humans unless provoked. If stung, you may experience pain, redness, and swelling at the site of the sting, similar to a wasp or bee sting. In most cases, symptoms will resolve on their own without serious consequences, but if you have a severe reaction or are allergic to insect stings, seek medical help immediately.

Mud daubers can be prevented by using traditional wasp repellents. These can be purchased at a retail home improvement store.

The scientific name for a dirt dauber is Sceliphron caementarium.
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]
