This is what is commonly known as "horseitch" or a close relative of it.
Yes, I am holding it. I don't know if this stuff loses its ability to sting in certain conditions (it WAS after heavy rains that this picture was taken) or if I have grown immune to it after being exposed to it enough, but believe me it CAN sting. And raise itchy red welts that last for hours at least.
Seems to grow in wet, marshy areas. I have a whole bank of it at my house.
