Distinguishing features

They are dragonfly-like insects with large bulging eyes and long knobbed antennae. They are readily distinguished from dragonflies because the latter have short bristle-like antennae. The closely related antlions (family Myrmeleontidae) have short, clubbed antennae, smaller eyes, and very different wing venation. (Wikipedia)
