Homero Gomez Gonzalez, 55, had been missing since January 13, police told CNN Espanol. He was found in Ocampo, Michoacán state, Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said during a Thursday press conference.
Lopez Obrador called Gomez’s death “lamentable and painful” and vowed to continue to fight criminal groups believed to be behind his disappearance and death.
An official autopsy will be released at a later date, but a state official said Gomez’s body showed signs of asphyxiation.
Mexico’s State Commission for Human Rights said they believe Gomez, known as the “Defender of the Monarch Butterfly,” might have come into conflict with illegal loggers while carrying out his conservation work.

FWIW, I used to have Fender blackface Pro-reverb. Man, I miss that amp.
About to testify on Clinton?
We have a guitar/bass ping list. Rebelbase has it ;^)
I have owned a few blackface Fender amps. uh-huh, that is the sound baby...My newer Peavey Classic 30 (all tube) is killer too, I can get the Fender sound.
Anyways, back to the thread!

I used to have a Gibson SG Custom (mid-sixties, three gold-plated humbuckers, an Bixby Tailpiece.)
I had to sell it to pay the rent.
I sure do miss that!
Were we talking about butterflies? LOL! :-)
Sweet. My "old" guitar, had it for 50+ years, is a Harmony Bobcat. Didn't appreciate it much at the time, but it sounds great and plays well. Short scale, but not tough to adjust the fingers.
I sold that Pro-Reverb because it was pretty darn bulky to haul around for a young guy setting off into professional life, with all his belongings in a car. It went to a friend who certainly appreciated it and deserved it. I was a crap player then. Wasn't til decades later I applied any understanding and discipline to my practice. Not a good player, but good enough I'm not frustrated with mistakes.
I had a Harmony arch-top when I was a kid. I think “Santa” paid $40.00 for it in a pawn shop.
I recently saw a vintage guitar of the exact same model in a Music Shop, and the guy wanted over $300.00 for it!
I shoulda hung onto both!
Wait, it wasn’t Rikki-Tikk-Timbo? /children’s story>
When I visited daughter and her family in Colorado last September we went here:
It has insects, fish, Rosie the Tarantula you can let crawl on your hand (my 5 year grand-daughter did this and was not scared). Rosie is 20 years old and never bit anyone.
Butterfly section, beautiful so many different species and they do land on you and there is food you can use to get them to come to you.
