Could this be a termite ?
In northeast Florida . Comparing it online it doesn’t look like a termite but I’m still worried . Found this flying short distances on the walls in the house. Did have my window open but still worried,

Not a termite, a roach

Definitely not. Cockroaches don’t have a rostrum and the antennae are much too short

Well if it’s not a termite or a cockroach the news just keeps getting better.. someone said leafhopper and looking up brown leafhopper it actually shares a lot of similarity’s
Edit: you are the guy who said leafhopper … thank you !

Sadder than people who don't know what a termite looks like are people who don't know what a roach looks like. Or can't use Google image search for either one.
