I wou...Hi, Gurunath! Glad you enjoyed the article!<br /><br />I would definitely say that's an Owlfly. The antennae are very much clubbed, being narrow all the way up until it ends in that blob. Antlion antennae are only slightly clubbed and tend to get wider and wider as you get to the end.<br /><br />Also Owlflies have bigger eyes that get fairly close to meeting at the top, almost like a dragonfly. Antlions have smaller eyes that are much more separate, more like a damselfly.<br /><br />Hope that helps!Joseph JGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623613806055217490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1711029747294427530.post-6389167984370597942015-11-05T06:09:08.933+00:002015-11-05T06:09:08.933+00:00Thanks for the article Joseph.

I have clicked a photo and here's a link to it -<br />https://flic.kr/p/AGUvwR<br /><br />Is it indeed an Owlfly or an Ant-Lion?<br /><br />Thanks in anticipation for your response.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945805022567798069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1711029747294427530.post-72933164946426962032013-05-26T13:37:14.617+01:002013-05-26T13:37:14.617+01:00Thanks a lot!
