As the ongoing sundial efforts have indicated, 3 of Ingenuity's rotor blades have lost their tips while the 4th blade separated at the hub and landed on the next hill over to the west. Note the clearly visible counterweight cone on that 4th blade, which might also be missing its tip.

No. The rover has no way to pick it up and also the cameras on Ingenuity aren't any good so it wouldn't be worth it.

Meh, sounded like a thought, oh well.
