Gulf Fritillary orphan

Help! Today, a Gulf Fritillary eclosed, and the weather is chilly here. When I tried to let him fly out of the mesh cage, he just wouldn't. I took him on my finger to some lantana, but he just perched there without budging. I broke off a piece of the lantana, and brought him inside on it, but so far, he has not made any effort to "thaw out" or move around. He's still alive, but I don't know what to do to help him live. He's in a small mesh cage on the lantana flower. Any ideas? Beth
