The way you capture a trace on the lo interface with Wireshark is that you select the lo interface from the list of interfaces Wireshark offers. (If it doesn't offer any interface, there's a permissions problem; see the Linux section of the CapturePrivileges page on the Wireshark Wiki for information on that.)
