It was lint that had been collecting there for almost five years I guess, since we built our house that long ago.
I cleaned that out and then noticed a wasp going in the pipe near the vent. Looked in that next and saw a wasp's nest!!! Got my spray out and squirted it in there. About a half hour later went out and got a coat hanger and pushed it up . Pulled out a nest that was about 1 1/2 in. in diameter and about 6 in. long.
Thank goodness I saw all this activity. Surprised there wasn't any damage inside because of everything being clogged up.
Check your pipes and vents to make sure you don't have any problems in the future. Glad I accidentally saw this.
Rosemary you need to get one of those cover to go over the pipe that open when the dryer is on and closes when it not. It will let the lint out and keep the bugs and bird out also
