Weird beetle thing?

Question

there was this green beetle thingy on my ceiling but it didn't look like a regular beetle it kinda had the head of a fly and it had like grasshopper legs and it could fly, and I came here because I couldn't find anything matching what I saw online and it's still stuck in my house and I'm Paranoid about it, if you have any answers that would be great!

Update:

it is small and roundish also metallic in color and Idk where it has gone to
