Stupid Question: Can the Magic trackpad be opened?

A little ant was crawling on my trackpad and as I tried to get it off, it crawled inside :( It's one of those bluetooth trackpads that are separate from my laptop. Can this thing be opened without breaking it? I'm guessing no, but maybe someone here has some insight. #apple
