Cycads are like a palm tree bush. A bug bean pod grows out of the middle like a giant Dick and when the season is over they just fall off and dry up. Most people cut it off early so it doesn’t waste nutrients.
Sorry, a cycad is a type of plant that creates cones, very similar to plants like pines. The individual plants can be male or female and the one I got this scale off of is male. The little creepy holes held pollen.
