I'd request for moth

Hello! I live in mid Indiana, I found this cute little guy when I moved my plants in for winter.

My bf found a caterpillar in the green onions so I decided to keep him. After about 1-2 weeks he pupated and eventually grew into this lovely moth.

It's currently pretty cold where I live. It's been 35-40 degrees f most days. I was wondering if it's okay to release him into the wild. I'm not sure if this time of year is normal for his species to emerge or if the temp of my apartment caused him to emerge at an unusual time.
