It's going to really mess up my filing system to upload an unknown, but this one has been bugging me (no pun intended; not a bug, so not a pun) for about seven years now and I just can't put a name to it. Am I barking up entirely the wrong tree?

A bit to the left of the large moth, I have never seen a moth like this before and I have found out this moth is not native here, they mostly feed on fruits it might have gotten here while people were bringing fruits to morocco from south east asia via plane or ship? either way amazing coloration of this species, its main distribution is south to south east asia.
