When I said (exterior parts), I really meant Outer edges.

It's not Cydalima laticostalis because it does not have a brown lining to the exterior parts of both hind and forewings. While Cydalima pfeifferae has brown coloration on all outer parts of the wings. http://www.jpmoth.org/~dmoth/Digital_Moths_of_Asia/50_PYRALOIDEA/Crambidae/63.9_Pyraustinae/Cydalima/Cydalima%20laticostalis/Cydalima%20laticostalis.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cydalima_pfeifferae

Thank you Ornithoptera80. Can it be Cydalima laticostalis? It is hard to me, as my photo is very poor.
