Swallowtails in the house

Good afternoon. I asked a question in the topic "Keeping and breeding butterflies", but there is no answer yet, so I will ask here. Last year, I took two Swallowtail caterpillars in the Moscow region. They pupated and wintered on the balcony. Yesterday, one butterfly came out, the second is not in a hurry yet. Yesterday I fed it with mashed banana, today with diluted honey. I want to release it in the near future, but I'm worried that May is quite cold this year, and the temperature will drop to +5 in a few days. Then they promise gradual warming. How dangerous is such a low temperature for them? Please help me!

It is not dangerous and can be released.
