Walking home when I encountered it on the sidewalk. After gently using a twig to see if it was dead, it fluttered/moved around and I could feel it's legs gripping the stick, so it is still alive to a degree. I do not know enough about them to know if it was distressed or dying or just chilling there on the sidewalk. It is rather beautiful, regardless.
