Dragonfly: Crashed Or Just Crashing?

I'm about to ascend the front entrance to the Plattsburgh Public Library when I notice an unusual item sticking out from under the edge of one step.



Upon further investigation I ascertain it's a dragonfly. At one point he does move his head. So I'm wondering if he's just taking a rest -- a short nap -- or is recovering from a head-on with the concrete. At least he didn't take off while I grabbed a few shots.
