There were several of these rather unusual micro-moths along the hedgerow towards Goodnestone from Crixhall Court. They are common, day-flying, longhorn moths. The one pictured is probably Adela reaumurella. It's a dark-green metallic colour and, with the sun reflecting off it as in the photo, showing a hint of gold. Just look at those antennae though!
