Here is a little Spell Effect I made up. The Plague Flies!
It should be useful for some Undead Spells ;) It's based on Faerie Fire.
But anyway, have fun with it, altough it isn't really much.

Skinpath:
Textures\PlagueFlies.blp
Textures\PlagueFliesCloud.blp
Textures\PlagueFliesGlow.blp

*edit*: Fixed the transparence of the flies
*edit2*: New Screenshot and slighty modifed skin for the flies

It's not bad, but can you make the flies less transparent?

Am I the only one thinking that those do not look like flies?

Well, I used the skin of the already existing flies in Warcraft 3
I modifed the skin now a bit, so it also looks more like the normal flies, but if it isn't enough, what should I do? :\

Get the idea?

I meant with normal flies, that they should look more like the normal WC3 flies ;P Sorry, didn't say that very clear... ^^ Also, it seems that there are splitted oppinions about this. Some who I asked mean it's good and some even say it's better than the normal wc3 flies, and well, of course oppinions like yours... Actually I'm very fine in the moment with it.... <.<

Waht I would do is make the models just a tiny bit more detailed, so they look more like real flies, and still use the ingame skin.

The in-game flies don't even look like flies =P

However if you do want to use the War3 textures, do what Olof said.

I'm doing what I can, and well, I'm not able to do that I'm capable of skinning, but I can't make models...
Well, I can change skin paths and transfer animations, but this is something everyone can do
Anyway, something let's me think that this will not be approved. <.<

Well, it could be useful for some people despite its inaccuracy. I'll approve it, but please do not let that stop you from trying to make it better :).
