With the temperature the Macbooks run at, the bug'll be long fried by now... I shouldn't worry about it too much!

It will probably die and dry out in your computer somewhere or crawl back out. All kinds of bugs crawl into homes and the electronic equipment in them and it doesn't seem to be a huge problem. Maybe get a can of airspray and try to blow it out?

That is easier said than done if the keyboard is mounted similar to the PowerBook (which I believe it is). The keyboard on the PowerBook is fastened with 14 screws (I think) to the top casing, then you have all the screws to get off the top case... Big job for a small bug!

Hehehe, reminds of the spider that found a new home in my flat display. He crawls right between the upper and lower display layer on my desktop. It's actually weird seeing the spidy crawling over my desktop icons.

To reiterate, that's AIRspray, not hairspray.
