I have a moth that hatched. It hasn't flown off. Is it OK to release it if the weather is bad?

A newly-hatched moth needs to build up pressure in its wings before it can fly off. Calm, sunny weather is ideal for releasing the moth, but they can hatch when the weather is not ideal. In any case, keeping it in a small container will result in the moth destroying its wings by fluttering against the walls. Once destroyed, it can never fly again. You can release it and hope it finds a place to hide from the not-so-ideal weather.
