<p><em>Storage</em><em> pest</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>are one of many factors causing </em><em>damage</em><em> of</em><em> </em><em>storage commodities, </em><em>both quantitatively and qualitatively</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>T</em><em>his study </em><em>aimed</em><em> for </em><em>indentifiying insect storage pests of</em><em> rice, corn, and soybean in Batuwarno District</em><em>, Wonogiri Regency</em><em>. The insect identification was conducted based on their morphological character (color, body shape, antennae, wing shape size, and number of tarsi). The commodity sampling in Batuwarno was taken by selecting the farmers in Sumberejo Village who have these three commodities. </em><em>4 of 12 farmers who had the three commodities (rice, cornm and soybean) in their storage were selected. </em><em> The method used in picking pest was by handpicking (directly). The sample was taken from five points, namely at the corner</em><em>s</em><em> and center diagonally in the </em><em>storage. R</em><em>esult</em><em>s showed that the insects were belong to</em><em> </em><em>Coleoptera</em><em> and Lepidoptera, namely Sitophilus oryzae, Sttotroga cerealella, Callosobruchus sp, Tribolium castaneum, Sitophilus zeamals, and Araecerus fasciculatus.</em><em></em></p>
