Also seen on the same tree as rain was starting to fall was this specialist, a Mediterranean fig psyllid (Homotoma ficus; 🇩🇪 Feigen-Blattfloh), a kind of plant louse.

Low lighting, so the picture has been aggressively processed to reduce the noise. Also, rotated 180º: the psyllid was actually hanging upside down.
