This was on my Crape Myrtle tree in the back yard. Never seen one of these in my life as far as I can remember.

I believe that this could be a flame skimmer (Libellula saturata; Odonata: Libellulidae) - go to http://tinyurl.com/dye7tv and scroll down to image #55. You also might be interested in looking at the site on California dragonflies at http://tinyurl.com/d7jokc
