Strange and beautiful blue bug

Early this morning I was watering my garden when I spotted this amazingly strange and beautiful blue bug sitting on a leaf on one of my rose bushes. I've never seen a creature like this before, so I ran inside my house and grabbed my trusty Canon S2 camera. If I had to take a guess... I'd say it was some sort of moth species. I was really happy to have caught it on camera before it flew away. I'll have to do some research and see what it is later.
