Please help identify this insect - genus, species and anything interesting about it. Do the colors matter in the identification?
Note, this is posted separately due to comments in this other thread.

1$\begingroup$ Any idea where the species is from (country / type of ecosystem / ...)? Did you capture / find this insect yourself? What is its approximative size? (you can consider answering to these questions to your related posts as well) $\endgroup$– Remi.bJul 26, 2017 at 22:14

1$\begingroup$ i did not capture these - they were sent from the artist. i'll try asking, but not sure if they know where the original source image was from $\endgroup$– inaJul 26, 2017 at 22:19

$\begingroup$ The colours usually matter, but there can sometimes be variability within a species. $\endgroup$– bliAug 1, 2017 at 12:40

This looks like a Weevil. Specifically it looks like a red/orange-spotted lily weevil
Here is some more information on it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachycerus_ornatus
though the information is very limited.
