It was walking on my microwave

Which I thought was not a suitable habitat. I very carefully slipped it onto a piece of paper, and put it on the table outside the back door.  It sat still, very kindly, while I found first my phone, then my macro lens, then a torch to light up it’s lovely shiny green. I was beginning to worry that I had damaged it - but just after I took this it flew off. I’ve been trying to identify it, without success so far.  I can’t find any green beetle with those distinctive back legs.  My mum would have called it ‘Henry Rush’ a name she inexplicably gave to any small bug or beetle that came in the house! 
It was about 1.5 centimetres long (without the antennae)
