Ahh, I love a good google dive. Ok, so I now think the title is as given, 'Luna y panorama de los insectos (el poeta pide ayuda a la Virgen)' and is a really deep cut!
In 1929-1930 Lorca visited America; he desultorily works on a collection of poems he wrote during this time until he is ASSASSINATED (I learned something) in 1936. The collection 'Poeta en Nueva York' comes out posthumously in 1940, and contains the poem 'Luna y panorama de los insectos (poema de amor).'
The entirely different poem 'Luna y panorama de los insectos (el poeta pide ayuda a la Virgen)' was written at the same time; it sometimes appears in editions of 'Poeta en Nueva York' as an extra, like this one where it's an appendix.
We have the original manuscript, and the Lorca Foundation's catalog, which I take as pretty definitive, lists it as 'Luna y panorama de los insectos: El poeta pide ayuda a la Virgen' and includes the tantalizing note that the manuscript has the crossed out alternate title 'Aventuras idiotas del Capitán John'.
