How far can this be taken ?

A friend of mine once had a 'natural' mating (in a cage) between Aglais
urticae and Inachis io (don't know which was the male/female).
The eggs proved to be (partly ?) fertile, but the caterpillars eventually
died and none of them pupated. Would you call this hybridisation too ?
