Yes, but you always talk about "butterflies" instead of "a butterfly". Butterflies in your stomach always indicates anxiety over something good, almost always love. You could never get butterflies in your stomach if you think you might lose your job. It also doesn't mean that you want to vomit; just that you're anxious and nervous.

It's supposed to describe feelings of uneasiness, and as being in love can be a little scary, this fits in a description of love.
