Because
it was too far for them to walk?

Because
I like millipedes. Obviously.

Also because the only place you can actually buy them is online -
I've never found a shop which sells them.

I knew there had to be somewhere that sold them.

i thought maybe you were ordering them for food
for an exotic pet of some sort

Actually no.
I'm not entirely sure what would eat a millipede...
I would have thought they'd stick in your teeth.

i think monkeys and bush babies
eat millipedes, i'm sure i've seen it on gogglebox

You
might be right about that.
I would imagine only creatures with enough brains to remove the legs first would eat them.

I suppose you could use the legs as toothpicks after your meal...

i have discovered
that brown lemurs eat millipedes. they spit on them and roll them round in their hands to wash off any toxins first.
