It is very unlikely that they will cross breed because unless they are captive bred these two particular species probably harbor some of the largest varieties of parasites and who knows what other bugs at one particular time. If this doesn't kill em, as mentioned earlier, the environmental requirements for each of these species is 180 degrees out of sync. Depending on which one you cater to will determine which will most certainly die.
So with this info being the most pertinent to you considerations, the decision is yours.
