I think it's been satisfactorily debunked: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mothman

If it still worries you, just make sure you keep plenty of Napthalene on hand. It's available in the form of white balls.

I've read a lot about the Mothman, Keel's books mainly but also other commentators take on the whole saga.
