Cunning insects? Far from it! (10)
I believe the answer is:
craftiness
'it' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'cunning insects? far' is the wordplay.
'cunning' indicates an anagram.
'insects'+'far'='insectsfar'
'insectsfar' with letters rearranged gives 'CRAFTINESS'.
'from' acts as a link.
