Flower beetle (Iridescent green insect)

My little son found this in the garden today when he was inspecting the strawberry plants. I've no idea what it is Now identified by spiralsheep as a flower beetle, it prompted me to run inside and swap to the macro lens really quickly!

It looks like a flower beetle, which is appropriate.

Even when the sun wasn't shining directly on it, it was very, very sparkly. And thank you!
