Not an antlion. They look to me like Craneflies, which are flies in one of two families: Tipulidae or Limoniidae.

There actually are four families of crane flies: Cylindrotomidae, Limoniidae, Pediciidae, and Tipulidae. These specimens appear to be in the family Tipulidae, and from their size, they might be giant crane flies, Tipula abdominalis - http://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/153079-Tipula-abdominalis
