Its the "stand upgrade second" animation of the "Abilities\Spells\NightElf\TreeofLifeUpgrade\TreeofLifeUpgradeTargetArt.mdl" model AKA "Tree of Life Upgrade Ability <Target>"

hope that helps, though i dont know how to get it select that animation, maybe someone else knows?

You can't just select an animation when playing a special effect. You have to make it a unit, but that's not exactly simple to get working.

Um, actually, I think that the butterflies and whatnot are a separate model from the Tree of Life, called something like "Tree of Life Upgrade Ability". I think that this ability has been enabled in the standard WE since 1.15, but I'm not entirely certain. If you can't find it, you may need to enable it yourself using a custom .slk, or download an "enhancer" program for WE that already has it enabled. Once you have it enabled, you can find out what the model that the ability uses is.

Alternatively, you could use the Faerie Fire buffart.

yes the animation is the Tree of Life Upgrade Ability, and that uses the model i refrenced, i looked, so you may want to look at how that spell picks a certain animation...

It's very likely it's hardcoded into the ability itself...
