Fuel injector filter?

Hi everybody, I read a lot here but don't post much. I have a question you guys may be able to answer. Does anyone know if there is a mesh filter under the fuel injector? Mine had what looked like a small, mesh filter in the hole that the injector sits. I pulled the injector because of starting issues and saw this mesh filter looking thing. It had crap in it so I cleaned it with tweezers. I reinstalled the injector and still had starting issues. I pulled it again but the "filter" was gone. Nothing there now. Went to pick and pull got another injector (no filter on that throttle body) car starts fine now but I'm still curious. Was that a filter or debris? I can't imagine how something that big could have got in there by mistake.

The lower portion of the injector has some screen material around it that serves as a filter.

Thanks for the response. This wasn't on the injector itself. It looked to be attached to the underside of the hole that the injector gets plugs into. I guess maybe it could have came loose from the injector and had slipped down into that hole but not sure.

Whatever it was must have got sucked into the throttle body and eventually/hopefully safely made its way through the combustion chamber and burned up in the catalytic converter.
