While they might look mysterious at first, the explanation is actually quite simple and completely natural.
In most cases, those tiny hitchhikers are plant seeds, commonly known as burrs or stickseeds. Certain plants have evolved a clever survival strategy that allows their seeds to latch onto passing animals—or people—to travel to new locations.
