 I upload it because I find that Asilidae is family of Diptera order. But I'm not sure.

 Hi, yes - it is certainly order Diptera but we have 2 different sub-forums for the families Asilidae and Syrphidae ... all other families go in "Diptera (adults)" Smile If you think any photo is not Diptera then just post to the "Other insects" sub-forum.

Very nice photo, by the way, I am sure one of the experts will identify it for you Smile

 This beautiful robber fly is Laphria dizonias Loew. It is known from Greece, Turkey, and adjacent sw. Asia. The body is nearly entirely covered with red hair, except the face and tergites 4 & 5 are bright yellow haired.
