That's a Green Carpet moth (
Colostygia pectinataria) Neil. Lovely little insect
NB: There are a lot of different types of "carpet" moth, but the name doesn't mean they'll eat your carpets
It is just a general name for moths of that family with similar shaped wings which come in various colours and patterns.
