It is a cactus that is called a "Jumping Cholla". It is best not to get too close to them and the best weopen to carry is a comb. By running the comb between your clothes and the clump of spines you can usually get most of the spines out. However, if you get it directly onto your skin the comb still works, but not as well and you will probably pull some of the barbs with pliers. In the desert most cactus have barbs (that's is how they keep from being eaten) but the Jumping Cholla is one of the most common and annoying.
