I believe it's an adult antlion

Description:

A little difficult because I found this guy in an already-dessicated state [ :( ]. Long abdomen that curls under its body; two sets of dragonfly-like wings; body dun-colored. Appx. 1" in length.

Habitat:

Rural property; deciduous forest with river very nearby.

Notes:

There are a million (give or take one or two) antlion larvae on & around this property & surrounding area, so I'm thinking that "antlion" is not an unreasonable guess.
