Spiny!

A seed head of the weed in the daisy family that I call cobbler's pegs, Bidens pilosa. It has many other common names in English: beggar's tick, beggar-ticks, hairy beggar-ticks, black-jack, broom stick, broom stuff, devil's needles, hairy bidens, Spanish needle, farmers friend and devil's pitchfork as well as many other common names in other languages.

 

With their tips like barbed arrows, it is little wonder that the seeds stick to clothes. For more information about this plant see here.
