Here's something from the man page on that:
-i Listen on interface. If unspecified, tcpdump
searches the system interface list for the lowest

match.
So you might be able to see the loopback interface traffic if you use
'-i lo0'. I've never tried that, however.
Ummm. Whoops. I should have read that more closely myself. It says
'excluding' the loopback interface. I don't think you can scan the
loopback interface with tcpdump.
