Thanks Carlos, Argy,bayucca
Ant lion for sure...
Bayucca says it might be an ant lion. There are plenty of the pits around the house and that is a good possibility. It has the same body features
I agree
Looking at the body proportions, size of head, lenghth of wings (longer than the body) and shape/size of antennae this might be an antlion:
